Thanks for staying with us—see you next time!

The final whistle blows at MetLife Stadium, and Chelsea secure a stunning 3–0 victory over PSG to claim the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup title.

Cole Palmer was the star of the show with a brilliant brace, supported by a masterclass from Moises Caicedo in midfield and a solid defensive effort all around. PSG fought hard but couldn’t overcome Chelsea’s dominance, especially after Joao Neves’ late red card.

Chelsea are now officially the best club team in the world for the next four years. What a memorable night for the Blues!

Despite being down to ten men, PSG continue to press and search for a goal to spark a comeback.

But Chelsea have defended impeccably, with Moises Caicedo delivering a standout performance in midfield—arguably the game’s second-best player after the brilliant Cole Palmer.

The Blues maintain control and look poised to close out a commanding victory here at MetLife.

Drama unfolds as Joao Neves receives a red card following a VAR review.

The initial yellow for a clash with Marc Cucurella has been upgraded after video footage showed Neves grabbing Cucurella by the hair—an act deemed violent conduct and worthy of an immediate dismissal.

PSG are now down to ten men, making their uphill battle even more daunting with less than 10 minutes remaining.

Joao Neves goes into the referee’s book after catching Marc Cucurella with a late arm to the face during a midfield challenge.

It’s PSG’s first booking of the match, and another sign of rising frustration from the French side as Chelsea continue to dictate the flow with a 3–0 lead.

What a chance for Chelsea to make it four! Robert Sanchez launches a pinpoint long ball over the top, catching PSG’s back line off guard and setting up Liam Delap for a clear look at goal.

Delap takes it in stride and fires low, but Donnarumma makes a crucial save with his knee—just enough to keep it out. A big stop from the PSG keeper, though the danger signs keep piling up.

Chelsea continue to rotate with the scoreboard in their favor. Reece James and Pedro Neto make way, and in come Christopher Nkunku and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

With fresh legs and plenty of quality still on the pitch, Chelsea look set to manage the final stretch of the match while keeping PSG at bay. Still 3–0 for the Blues at MetLife Stadium.

Right after the cooling break, PSG make a major tactical shift with a triple substitution:

Goncalo Ramos, Warren Zaire Emery, and Nehemiah Mayulu all come on, while Achraf Hakimi, Fabian Ruiz, and Desire Doue make way.

Luis Enrique is clearly looking to inject new energy and urgency into his side as they try to mount a late comeback. Chelsea still lead 3–0.

The referee pauses play for the second cooling break of the night, giving both teams a chance to hydrate and regroup under the warm summer conditions.

Chelsea remain in full control with a 3–0 lead, while PSG still search for a spark to get back into the match. Time is running out for the Parisians, and the next few minutes will be critical.

Chelsea make their second substitution of the night as Joao Pedro comes off to a loud ovation after scoring the third goal.

He’s replaced by Liam Delap, who will bring fresh energy up front as Chelsea look to manage their lead and continue pressing high. Smart rotation from the Blues as they remain in control at 3–0.

We’ve had two changes so far in this Club World Cup final.

PSG made the first move earlier, bringing on Bradley Barcola in place of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in an attempt to add fresh legs and more direct attacking threat.

Now Chelsea respond with their first substitution: Enzo Fernandez comes off, seemingly due to muscle tightness, and is replaced by Andrey Santos. Chelsea will hope it’s just precautionary as they protect a 3–0 lead.

Chelsea’s dominance is now echoing through the stands, as the crowd begins chanting “Ole!” with every pass the Blues complete.

It’s turning into a show of authority from the Premier League side, and the fans are loving it. Meanwhile, PSG’s frustration is starting to boil over—players showing visible signs of irritation as they struggle to get near the ball. MetLife is turning into a blue fortress tonight.

What a moment from Robert Sanchez! PSG nearly pull one back as the ball falls perfectly to Ousmane Dembele inside the box.

But Sanchez reacts brilliantly, throwing out a reflex hand to make a stunning save—easily the best stop of the night. That’s a world-class moment from the Chelsea goalkeeper to keep the score at 3–0.

Both teams have come out with similar approaches to the first half. Chelsea continue to press high and look to control possession, showing no signs of backing off despite their 3–0 lead.

PSG, for their part, have started with a bit more sharpness and intensity, connecting cleaner passes and trying to push higher up the pitch. Still, the overall dynamic remains unchanged — a high-tempo, high-stakes battle with Chelsea in firm control.

The teams are back on the field, ready to resume this thrilling Club World Cup final. Chelsea hold a commanding 3–0 lead, while PSG will be searching for answers as they look to mount a comeback.

Stay tuned for all the live action!

Paris Saint-Germain find themselves in a difficult position as the first half winds down, trailing 3–0 to a relentless Chelsea side.

The Parisians will be eager for halftime to regroup, reassess tactics, and make adjustments to try and turn the game around. For now, it seems like time is on Chelsea’s side as they look to maintain their commanding lead heading into the break.

Joao Pedro scores a classy finish to put Chelsea firmly in control of the final.

The goal comes courtesy of a brilliant assist from Cole Palmer, who continues to torment PSG’s defense with his vision and precision. Pedro calmly slots the ball past Donnarumma, leaving PSG with an uphill battle to mount any kind of comeback.

Chelsea look dominant, and the Parisians are in serious trouble now.

Two games, three goals as Chelsea player for João Pedro.

Malo Gusto becomes the third Chelsea player to receive a yellow card, shown for a tactical foul on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to stop a dangerous PSG counterattack.

It’s a smart but costly decision, as Chelsea continue to walk a disciplinary tightrope despite holding a 2–0 lead. PSG are growing in urgency heading into stoppage time.

Moises Caicedo picks up Chelsea’s second yellow card of the match after a late foul in midfield. The Ecuadorian had already been on the referee’s radar for persistent challenges, and this time he leaves the official with no choice.

Pedro Neto becomes the first player shown a yellow card in this final, booked for unsporting behavior.

The Chelsea forward got tangled up after a late challenge and reacted with a bit too much intensity for the referee’s liking. It’s a warning to both teams as the tension starts to rise with Chelsea leading 2–0.

It’s a brace for Cole Palmer, and Chelsea are flying in the Club World Cup final!

The second goal comes off another brilliant team move—quick passes through midfield, clever movement off the ball, and pinpoint precision in the final third.

We’ve reached the first cooling break of the match, as both teams take a moment to rehydrate and regroup under the warm New Jersey night.

Chelsea take the lead in the Club World Cup final — and it's Cole Palmer once again delivering in the big moment!

It all starts with Malo Gusto, who wins his individual battle against Nuno Mendes and recovers a loose ball on the right flank. Gusto keeps his composure and slides a sharp pass into the box, where Palmer is waiting.

With ice in his veins, Palmer takes a touch and calmly slots the ball to the goalkeeper’s right, leaving Donnarumma rooted. Chelsea go up 1–0 — fully deserved based on the opening 25 minutes.

PSG test Chelsea for the first time on target, as Desire Doue cuts inside from the right and fires a low, driven shot toward the near post. It’s a clean strike through traffic, and for a moment it looks destined for the back of the net. 

But Robert Sanchez is up to the task, getting down quickly to make a sharp save. It’s the first real stop of the night, and a strong reminder that PSG can strike in an instant.

PSG nearly break through as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia sparks danger down the left, beating his man and whipping a deep cross to the far post. Desire Doue lurks unmarked, ready to strike—but instead of shooting, he opts to play it back across the box.

That moment of hesitation gives Marc Cucurella just enough time to recover and clear the danger. A massive defensive stop from the Spaniard, keeping Chelsea level in a match that continues to swing at high pace.

The match has turned into a full-throttle battle—pressing versus pressing, with both sides refusing to drop off. But what’s truly surprising is how comfortable Chelsea look in the face of PSG’s pressure.

The Premier League side have matched Paris stride for stride, and the return of Moises Caicedo is proving crucial. His presence in midfield is bringing balance, bite, and composure, helping Chelsea win key duels and dictate the rhythm. It’s a fearless showing so far from the Blues.

What a chance for Chelsea! A brilliant piece of collective play ends with Joao Pedro slipping a perfectly timed pass into the box for Cole Palmer, who finds himself one-on-one with Donnarumma.

Palmer goes for placement over power, and his low shot slides just wide of the far post—so close that much of the crowd thought it had gone in. A massive let-off for PSG, and a reminder of Chelsea’s growing threat.

Chelsea are clearly the sharper side in the opening minutes, imposing themselves with relentless energy and tactical discipline. Their pressing is suffocating, their transitions quick, and PSG are struggling to settle into the match.

The Parisians look stunned by the intensity, as Chelsea dominate the early tempo and continue to push numbers forward. A statement start from the Blues.

Chelsea waste no time asserting themselves in the final. With an aggressive high press right out of the gate, they force PSG into a quick turnover and push forward with purpose.

The Blues play without fear, pressing with numbers and pace—and it pays off, earning the game’s first corner in the opening minute. Strong start from the Premier League side.
