Chelsea Dominate PSG in Stunning Club World Cup 2025 Final
So, let’s talk about what just went down in the 2025 Club World Cup Final between Chelsea and PSG—because, wow, it was wild. If you missed it, Chelsea didn’t just win; they absolutely dismantled Paris Saint-Germain in the first half alone. We're talking 3-0 at halftime, and honestly, the scoreline barely reflects how much Chelsea controlled the game.
Cole Palmer was on a different level tonight. Not only did he score twice, but his playmaking was electric. His first goal? Calm, collected, and clinical—placed perfectly past Donnarumma from outside the box. The second? A masterpiece of footwork and finesse, dancing around Beraldo and curling it beautifully into the corner. And if that wasn’t enough, he turned provider for João Pedro with a 40-yard dribble and inch-perfect assist. João Pedro, by the way, has only just joined the club, and he’s already producing highlight-reel moments—his little dink over Donnarumma for Chelsea’s third was cheeky, confident, and absolutely top class.
PSG? They looked lost. Completely out of sorts. Their backline was all over the place—especially down their left, where Palmer and Gusto just kept exploiting the space behind Nuno Mendes. There were moments of promise—like Doue’s early chance that Sánchez did brilliantly to save—but overall, PSG's star-studded attack was muzzled. Mbappé, Dembele, and Kvaratskhelia barely saw the ball in dangerous areas, largely thanks to Trevoh Chalobah, who quietly had a monster of a game at the back for Chelsea.

Even off the pitch, the event felt like something bigger. The match was held in New Jersey, with the likes of Donald Trump, Melania, Gianni Infantino, and NFL legends in attendance. There was a huge American-style halftime show headlined by Doja Cat, J Balvin, and Tems—because of course there was.
But back to the football—this was a statement win. Chelsea, under Enzo Maresca, have looked promising, but tonight they looked elite. The midfield was sharp, the press was aggressive, and their attacking play had real intent. It wasn’t just flair, it was effective.
For PSG and Luis Enrique, this will raise serious questions. The French champions looked disjointed, reactive, and without a clear plan. You can have all the talent in the world, but without cohesion, it falls apart—and that’s exactly what happened tonight.
In short? Chelsea didn’t just win the Club World Cup. They owned it.
