Chelsea made history on Sunday night, clinching the first-ever title in the newly expanded FIFA Club World Cup with a dominant 3–0 victory over European champions Paris Saint-Germain at the MetLife Stadium.

Cole Palmer was the star of the show, delivering a standout performance by scoring twice within the first 30 minutes and assisting another. His clinical finishing and sharp link-up play gave Chelsea the early edge, as the London club quickly took control of the high-stakes final.

João Pedro added a third goal before halftime, capping off a superb attacking display that left PSG stunned and struggling to respond. The French champions, who came into the match with high expectations, failed to find rhythm or penetrate Chelsea’s well-organized defense.
