Cole Palmer's mark on the day Chelsea won the Club World Cup

In the early morning of July 14 (Hanoi time), at MetLife Stadium, Cole Palmer shone brightly, becoming the brightest star in Chelsea's 3-0 victory over PSG, thereby helping the London team win the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ championship.

Palmer made a big contribution to Chelsea's victory.

It took Palmer just 22 minutes to break the deadlock, before completing his double in the 38th minute. Five minutes later, Joao Pedro scored the third goal, extinguishing any hopes of a comeback for PSG. The 3-0 scoreline held until the end of the match, capping off a convincing performance from coach Enzo Maresca and his team.

Palmer not only brought the title to Chelsea, but also made history as the first English player to score twice in a FIFA Club World Cup final. Before him, only Wayne Rooney and Phil Foden had scored in the final of the competition, but only once each. In addition, Palmer became the third Chelsea player to score more than once in a final, after club icons Didier Drogba and Eden Hazard.

Palmer's impressive form is not just reflected in the numbers. After 6 professional finals in his career, the 23-year-old striker has had a hand in 8 goals - an impressive achievement for a young player. Notably, PSG's defense - which had only conceded 2 goals during the journey to the final - allowed Palmer and his teammates to score 3 times in just 43 minutes.

Immediately after the match, social media was flooded with praise for the young English star. “After just 43 minutes of play, he silenced all doubters,” one account commented. Another joked: “PSG’s defense looked like a joke against Palmer.”

Victory over the Champions League winners not only secured the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup™ title for Chelsea, but also provided a strong statement of intent under coach Enzo Maresca. A young, cohesive and ambitious squad is taking shape at Stamford Bridge - where Cole Palmer is emerging as the flag bearer for a promising new generation.
