Chelsea cruised to a commanding 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday to secure their second FIFA Club World Cup title.
Enzo Maresca’s men stunned the Champions League-winning Parisians with a first-half brace from Cole Palmer and a brilliant chipped goal by new signing João Pedro, set up by the outstanding Palmer.
The Blues held firm in the second half, with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez delivering several vital saves to maintain a clean sheet.
PSG’s frustrations peaked late in the match when João Neves was shown a red card for pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair, leaving the French side a man down.
Despite boasting a star-studded squad and coming off their maiden UEFA Champions League triumph, PSG found it difficult to penetrate Chelsea’s disciplined defence and cohesive midfield.
Chelsea’s emphatic performance marks a significant milestone under Maresca, solidifying their resurgence on the global stage.
