Chelsea lift trophy alongside Trump after Club World Cup final win over Paris Saint-Germain

Chelsea are the world champions after dominanting this Club World Cup final against Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain.

The fascinating Club World Cup final in New Jersey pitted Enzo Maresca’s underdog Blues against a PSG side who had looked unstoppable, having demolished Inter Milan 5-0 at the end of May to clinch their first Champions League crown, and then thumped Real Madrid 4-0 in the Club World Cup semi-finals for good measure.

But a Blue blitz saw Chelsea lead 3-0 at half-time of this final thanks to Cole Palmer’s brilliance. Palmer scored the opener and then added an even better second, shimmying inside before firing low into the corner. And he created the third as his pass fed Joao Pedro, who scooped the ball over Gianluigi Donnarumma to leave PSG stunned.

And Chelsea finished the job, with PSG reduced to 10 men at the end of the game after Joao Neves was sent off for pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair.

Levi Colwill on what this means for Chelsea

“I think for sure we are moving in the right direction, you know, winning this trophy against such good opposition,” he said.

“So it's a big statement. I'm happy with how much the club has progressed and how next season you know we're competing in the Premier League, to win the title and compete and to go far in the Champions League as well.”

“The venue is top. The pitches are not so good. Hopefully there are some changes for the World Cup next year,” he said.

“There's astro underneath and maybe grass on top. It's not the best for the body, for the joints, for the muscles.

“You will all see higher quality games and higher quality football if we play on a surface which we play on in Europe.”
