Chelsea Football Club have won the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup after a 3–0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in Sunday’s final at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The Premier League side took control early in the match and maintained dominance throughout the game.
Cole Palmer opened the scoring in the 22nd minute with a left-footed finish at the end of a quick passing sequence. He added a second eight minutes later, capitalising on a defensive error to make it 2–0.
Chelsea’s third goal came in the 43rd minute. Palmer turned provider, delivering a through-ball to João Pedro, who chipped the goalkeeper to extend the lead before halftime.
PSG were reduced to ten men in the 83rd minute after João Neves was sent off for violent conduct. The red card followed a VAR review that confirmed he pulled Marc Cucurella’s hair in an off-the-ball incident.
Chelsea finished the match with 52% possession, six shots on target, and an 89% pass accuracy. PSG recorded three shots on target and 86% pass accuracy.
Manager Enzo Maresca secured his first major title with the club, just months into his tenure.
Cole Palmer was named the tournament’s Best Player (Golden Ball), and Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sánchez received the Golden Glove for his clean sheet in the final and consistent performance throughout the competition.
PSG’s Warren Zaïre-Emery was awarded the Silver Ball, and João Pedro earned the Bronze Ball.
This is Chelsea’s second FIFA Club World Cup title. The first was won in 2022.
