Chelsea stun PSG to win the Club World Cup
On the pitch, Chelsea delivered a footballing masterclass to silence their doubters.
The game at MetLife Stadium kicked off with high intensity, and by halftime, Enzo Maresca’s men had already stunned the French champions, as noted by ESPN.
Cole Palmer was at the heart of everything. The young midfielder bagged two goals and assisted João Pedro for the third, leading Chelsea to a memorable win in the final of the newly expanded tournament.
