FIFA Club World Cup 2025: Cole Palmer shines while Chelsea beats PSG to secure the title

Cole Palmer scored two goals and scored another when Chelsea Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) was surprised in the final of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 on Sunday and defeated the European champion 3-0 in the Metlife Stadium to win the first edition of the new competition of FIFA.

PSG was the favorite for a match after he came to the United States from winning the UEFA Champions League and Real Madrid destroyed 4-0 in the semi-final.

But after having been three goals halfway through the first half in the semi-final, the roles were reversed this time when PSG 3-0 lay down through the break.

Palmer opened the score halfway through the first half and hit again to make it two on the half -hour, before he used passive defense to set up Joao Pedro for the third in 43 minutes.

A bad day for PSG was summarized when Joao Neves Red was shown after a VAR review four minutes from the end to pull Marc Cucurella on the hair of the ball.

It was a score that few could have predicted when Chelsea struck what a long but a memorable season was – it is the first winner ever of the 32 team Club World Cup, which also won the UEFA Conference League and was fourth in the Premier League.
