Chelsea’s Midfielder, Cole Palmer scored two goals and assisted Joao Pedro with his goal as Chelsea stunned Paris Saint-Germain in the final of the Club World Cup on Sunday, beating the European champions 3-0 at the MetLife Stadium to win the first edition of FIFA’s new competition.
PSG appeared as the favourites ahead of the final match after already winning the UEFA Champions League and having destroyed Real Madrid 4-0 in the semi-finals.
It was a scoreline that few could have predicted as Chelsea capped what has been a long but memorable season — they are the first ever winners of the 32-team Club World Cup having also won the UEFA Conference League and finished fourth in the Premier League.
They will also take away around $125 million in prize money, meaning the prospect of a drastically curtailed summer break before returning for next season will surely feel worth it.
