Cole Palmer scored twice and Joao Pedro once as Chelsea beat the European champions at MetLife Stadium on 13 July 2025.
Chelsea won the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, beating Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on 13 July 2025. Cole Palmer scored in the 22nd and 30th minutes and set up Joao Pedro's goal just before half-time.
PSG, who had just won the Champions League, finished with ten men: Joao Neves was sent off in the 84th minute. The attendance was reported as about 81,000, a tournament high. Chelsea became the first winners of the new 32-team format.
The next Club World Cup is planned for 2029. FIFA had not named a host at the time of writing; Brazil, Qatar, Spain and Morocco have all been linked with the tournament.
In context: it is Chelsea's second Club World Cup, after the 2021 edition, which was played in Abu Dhabi in February 2022.
