Chelsea ended their stellar FIFA Club World Cup run in style, overpowering Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the final to lift the trophy and collect two major individual awards.
Despite PSG being tipped as favorites—especially after their emphatic 4-0 win over Real Madrid—Chelsea flipped the narrative early. Cole Palmer starred with two goals and an assist for new signing Joao Pedro, all before halftime, leaving PSG stunned and unable to respond.
Palmer’s standout performances throughout the tournament, capped by his decisive display in the final, earned him the Player of the Tournament award. Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was also honoured, winning the Golden Glove after keeping three clean sheets during the campaign.
While the French side faltered in the final, PSG’s Desire Doue was named Young Player of the Tournament for his breakout performances.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s Gonzalo Garcia claimed the Golden Boot, having scored five goals in the competition.
