Chelsea Football Club have etched their name into the history books once again after securing their second FIFA Club World Cup title with a commanding 3-0 victory over French giants Paris Saint-Germain in the final held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
The Premier League side, led by head coach Enzo Maresca, delivered a stunning performance in what was the grand finale of the newly-expanded 32-team tournament—becoming the first-ever champions of the revamped format.
Chelsea’s talismanic midfielder, Cole Palmer, was the undisputed star of the night.
The England international struck twice in the first half with ice-cold composure and later provided an assist for João Pedro’s goal in the second half, sealing a memorable victory for the Blues.
Palmer’s scintillating performance earned him the Man of the Match award, with pundits and fans alike hailing his display as one of the finest individual performances in a major club final

While Palmer dazzled in attack, Chelsea’s backline stood tall against PSG’s fearsome attacking lineup.
Goalkeeper Robert Sánchez produced several crucial saves to keep a clean sheet, while defenders Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana, and captain Reece James maintained defensive discipline throughout the match.
PSG’s misery was compounded in the 83rd minute when midfielder João Neves received a red card for a reckless challenge, effectively ending any hopes of a comeback.
This victory marks Chelsea’s second Club World Cup title, having first won the tournament in 2021.
However, the 2025 edition holds special significance as Chelsea became the inaugural winners of the expanded format, which featured top clubs from around the globe in a World Cup-style setup.
The triumph also comes with a financial windfall, as Chelsea are expected to earn £93 million in prize money, one of the biggest payouts in club competition history.
With this emphatic win, Chelsea have sent a clear message to the footballing world: the West London club is back on top, and ready to challenge for more silverware both domestically and globally.
As jubilant fans celebrated across the globe, Chelsea’s latest conquest further cements their legacy as one of the modern giants of world football.
