Chelsea defeated PSG 3-0 in the Club World Cup final on July 13, 2025, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford (NJ), with all goals scored in the first half. The match was attended by 81,118 fans and was interrupted by the expulsion of João Neves from PSG in the second half.

Offensive production and efficiency

Cole Palmer was named "Man of the Match," scoring two goals (minutes 22 and 30) and providing the assist for João Pedro (minute 43).
Chelsea scored three times from outside the box in this edition of the tournament.

Moisés Caicedo was a key player in controlling the midfield, helping to neutralize PSG's star-studded midfield.
Throughout the tournament, PSG had a high defensive rating, with 7 clean sheets in 8 games and only 1 goal conceded before the final. However, in 45 minutes against Chelsea, they conceded three times and lost control.

Tactical differentials

Chelsea won most of the contested balls and pressed high, blocking PSG's ball exit and forcing errors that resulted in goals.
Goalkeeper Robert Sánchez made crucial saves (including a shot from Dembélé at 53’) and distributed long passes that initiated attacking plays.

Statistical context

Before the final, PSG had been dominant: 18 goals without conceding in the last 5 games (including Bayern and Real).
Chelsea, although facing less favored opponents, had not faced such strong pressure — until they showed the ability to withstand and attack at a high level.

Conclusion The numbers confirm: Chelsea was more efficient (3 goals from 5 dangerous attempts), maintained midfield control without losing structure, and defeated a PSG that was previously defensively unbeaten. A triumph marked by statistics reflecting tactical balance and composure in finishing.
