Chelsea hammered Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 to be crowned the 2024/25 FIFA Club World Cup Champions at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, United States, on Sunday night, July 13

The two-time UEFA Champions League winners took the lead in the 22nd minute as Cole Palmer placed the ball in the bottom corner from the edge of the box after Malo Gusto's shot was blocked by a PSG defender.

Gusto made a beautiful run, beating Nuno Mendes in the build-up to that goal.

Eight minutes later, Palmer scored an identical goal to his first as he ran onto a ball down the right and cut in.

The English player sent Lucas Beraldo to the ground with a dummy before slotting the ball in the bottom corner from near the edge of the box, according to Al Jazeera.

Two minutes to the end of the first half, Brazilian forward Joao Pedro located Palmer’s throw pass, clipping the ball over Gianluigi Donnarumma from 10 yards out, per BBC.
