In this match, Chelsea played aggressively in the first half. Palmer scored two goals to give the team the lead, while Pedro scored the winning goal.
As the new Champions League champions, Paris Saint-Germain were the favorites to win before the match.
In the group stage, they demonstrated strong dominance, winning 4-0 against Atletico Madrid in the first round and starting the season well.
Despite losing to Botafogo in the second round, the French giants still secured a victory over the home team Seattle Sounders in the final round and qualified as group champions.
In the knockout stage, Paris Saint-Germain first defeated Miami International, then beat Bayern Munich 2-0 in the quarterfinals to advance to the semifinals.
In the semifinals, facing Real Madrid, the team with the most Club World Cup and Champions League titles, Paris Saint-Germain relied on the outstanding performances of Fabian, Dembele, and Ramos to defeat their opponents 4-0 and make an impact on the five-time champions this season.
Paris Saint-Germain conceded only one goal in seven matches. This heroic performance has captivated the world. Coach Luis Enrique and several players stated that the team is currently in peak form. However, in the final, PSG suffered a crushing defeat against Chelsea.
The Blues indeed put on an extraordinary performance at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. They successfully silenced the European champions with a decisive 3-0 score.
Chelsea were sharp in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final, but this defeat must be acknowledged as a disappointing performance for PSG, who had previously scored 16 goals and conceded only one.
Some may underestimate Chelsea's remarkable success in winning the Conference League and the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, suggesting that other clubs do not take this competition seriously. However, such a view is overly simplistic.
This victory not only secured Maresca's second trophy of the season but also entitled Chelsea to a total prize money of £97 million.
