Chelsea 3-0 PSG: Fans Reacts As Palmer & Joao Pedro Strike Crown Blues 2025 Club World Cup Champions

Chelsea were crowned 2025 FIFA Club World Cup champions on Sunday night after a commanding 3-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in a star-studded final. The Blues delivered a clinical first-half performance, with Cole Palmer scoring twice and Joao Pedro adding a third before halftime to seal a historic night for the London club.

The game started with high energy as both sides looked to assert dominance. Chelsea quickly took control, and in the 22nd minute, Palmer found the bottom corner with a composed finish to open the scoring. Just eight minutes later, the 22-year-old doubled his tally, capitalizing on a PSG defensive error to slot home confidently and make it 2-0.

Palmer’s night only got better as he provided a brilliant assist in the 43rd minute. After weaving past PSG’s midfield, he laid off a perfect pass to Joao Pedro, who expertly chipped the ball over goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to make it 3-0. The first half ended with Chelsea firmly in control and PSG left stunned.

Despite PSG’s attacking efforts in the second half, they found Robert Sánchez in inspired form. The Chelsea goalkeeper made crucial saves to deny Ousmane Dembele, Joao Neves, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, preserving a clean sheet for his side. Chelsea maintained their discipline, although the game saw its share of physicality with yellow cards shown to Neto, Caicedo, Gusto, and Colwill.

Tensions peaked in the 85th minute when Joao Neves of PSG was shown a straight red card for violent conduct after pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair during an off-the-ball incident. It summed up PSG’s frustration on a night where nothing went their way.

Chelsea’s starting XI featured a mix of youth and experience, including Sánchez, Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella, Reece James, Caicedo, Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, Pedro Neto, and Joao Pedro. The squad depth was evident as players like Delap, Santos, and Nkunku came on to help see out the victory.

For PSG, a lineup that included Marquinhos, Dembele, Ruiz, Donnarumma, Hakimi, Kvaratskhelia, Vitinha, and Neves failed to produce a goal. Despite making several substitutions, including bringing on Ramos and Barcola, the French champions couldn’t find a way past Chelsea’s defense.

With this emphatic win, Chelsea lift their second FIFA Club World Cup title, showcasing the strength and maturity of their new generation of stars. Palmer’s performance—two goals and an assist—will long be remembered as one of the defining moments of the tournament. As Chelsea celebrate continental glory, PSG are left to regroup after falling short on the big stage once again.
