Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3–0 in the Club World Cup final on Sunday. The Blues were viewed as underdogs prior to the match, which pitted them against the Ligue 1 and Champions League champions. However, it was the Premier League side that started strong in the first half, netting three goals that essentially clinched the victory. Cole Palmer scored two identical goals from the right side of the box, giving Chelsea a commanding lead at MetLife Stadium. He later assisted João Pedro for the third goal, marking Pedro’s third goal of the tournament since joining Chelsea. The second half saw no goals scored as Enzo Maresca’s squad secured the Club World Cup title, alongside the UEFA Conference League they won the previous month. PSG missed the opportunity for a historic sextuple but will have a shot at the UEFA Super Cup next month against Tottenham.
