Chelsea Clinches Club World Cup Title
(MENAFN) In a dominant performance, Chelsea overcame Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) 3-0 in the grand finale of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, securing the prestigious title while US President Donald Trump observed the match from the crowd.
The final showdown took place at MetLife Stadium, located in the US state of New Jersey.
The English squad went head-to-head with the French team in a high-stakes encounter.
Chelsea surged ahead of the reigning Champions League victors, PSG, by halftime.
Cole Palmer netted twice, scoring in the 22nd and 30th minutes, while Joao Pedro added a third in the 43rd minute to give Chelsea a commanding lead.
Despite various attempts, neither team managed to score during the second half, allowing Chelsea to maintain their 3-0 advantage until the final whistle.
A moment of controversy unfolded in the 84th minute when PSG’s Joao Neves was shown a red card for "pulling Chelsea's Marc Cucurella's hair."
Following the final whistle, Trump took to the field to award the Chelsea squad their gold medals and the Club World Cup trophy, while PSG received their silver medals as runners-up.
Chelsea, who were crowned UEFA Europa Conference League champions for the 2024-2025 campaign, had previously claimed their inaugural FIFA Club World Cup title during the 2021-2022 season.
