Before the match, even the optimistic fans did not expect Chelsea to be so dominant against the strongest team in the world . With only 3 attacks on the right wing and 3 shots on target, the Premier League representative scored 3 goals in the first half.
Cole Palmer's brilliant performance with 2 goals and 1 assist helped the Conference League champions finish off the reigning Champions League champions in just 45 minutes.
Chelsea became the first champions of the new FIFA Club World Cup format, and the second time they became the kings of world football at club level. In addition to the noble title, the team at Stamford Bridge also pocketed a bonus of up to 97 million pounds.
On the other hand, the bitter defeat caused PSG to miss the opportunity to win six trophies. Ahead of coach Luis Enrique and his team is the European Super Cup match against Tottenham before the 2025/26 season.
3 goals helped Chelsea quickly decide the final match. |
After the opening whistle, Chelsea took the initiative to attack, causing PSG a lot of difficulty in launching attacks. Throughout the first half, the Ligue 1 representative's attack and midfield were divided. "Le Parisien" only had one significant chance, which was Desire Doue's long-range shot that was blocked. On the opposite wing, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was almost invisible.
Willian Pacho's absence left a huge gap in the French champions' defence. Chelsea took the initiative to exploit the position between Nuno Mendes and Beraldo, thereby collecting 3 goals. It is also impossible not to praise Cole Palmer, the first English player in history to score a brace in a FIFA Club World Cup final. In total, Palmer has had a hand in 8 goals in just 7 finals in which he has played.
In the second half, coach Luis Enrique tried to make adjustments but all PSG could do was Ousmane Dembele's close-range shot was blocked by the goalkeeper. Robert Sanchez's excellent performance in goal created a foundation for his teammates to play confidently. Chelsea even almost had a fourth goal in the 80th minute, if Liam Delap had not missed when only Gianluigi Donnarumma was in front of them.
PSG's disastrous day ended with Joao Neves being sent off for pulling Marc Cucurella's hair. The French side returned to earth after a period of sublimation, while Chelsea fans began to dream of a new cycle of success under coach Enzo Maresca.
