In a shocking news, Chelsea thrashed European champions Paris Saint-Germain, 3-0, in the Club World Cup final, to be crowned the first-ever Club World Cup champions. The grand finale saw Cole Palmer scoring two wonderful goals and Joao Pedro scoring the third one to hit the final nail in the coffin.
Luis Enrique’s PSG were looking to add the world title to their Champions League, Ligue 1 and Coupe de France treble, but they were blown away in a remarkable first half that saw Chelsea’s Cole Palmer score two identical goals in the first 30 minutes.
Chelsea’s Joao Pedro rubbed salt into PSG’s wounds by scoring another wonderful goal in the 43rd minute to kill the match for the 2025 Champions League winners PSG.
With the Premier League giants up 3-0 by halftime, Luis Enrique’s men tried their best to catch up with only 45 minutes remaining. They made aggressive run-ins with Desire Doué and Ousmane Dembele, trying their level best to match the scoreline. But to no avail. PSG couldn’t manage to breach Chelsea’s defence with Moises Caicedo and skipper Reece James holding the fort.
The grand finale of the FIFA Club World Cup saw tempers flaring within both squads, with PSG’s João Neves receiving a red card for pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair in the 84th minute. The incident occurred after he and Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella bumped as they approached the box. Neves grabbed Cucurella by his hair from behind and pulled him to the ground.
The red card was issued after a VAR review, with João Neves clearly seen pulling Cucurella’s hair.
This wasn’t the end. After the final whistle, Chelsea’s Andrey Santos was arguing with Achraf Hakimi when Pedro, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Enrique all got involved. It appeared Pedro tried to push Enrique out of the confrontation, which prompted the PSG boss to seemingly put his hands on the Brazilian’s face and cause him to go to the ground.
Meanwhile, with Chelsea becoming the inaugural champions of the FIFA Club World Cup, Twitteratis couldn’t control their excitement. The social media users wished and rejoiced with Chelsea’s victory.
