PSG disappointed

For Paris Saint-Germain, who went into the exciting match as favorites, this result represents a bitter disappointment.

In the second half, PSG were able to create a few chances, but Chelsea's edge remained stable and the early dominance of the game could no longer be overcome. In the 86th minute, PSG player Joao Neves was shown a red card for a foul on Marc Cucurella, which didn't make the already tense situation any better for the team.

Another great success for Chelsea

With this triumph, Chelsea not only secure the Club World Cup title, but also celebrate their third major title in the 2024-25 season. They had previously won the UEFA Conference League and finished fourth in the Premier League. The prize money of around 125 million dollars is an additional bonus for the Londoners, who have maintained a good hand this season.

All in all, this game will be remembered as a highlight in football history, especially thanks to Cole Palmer's exceptional performance, which was crucial to Chelsea's success. The young player, only 23 years old, has entered his club's history books and is likely to be the subject of much conversation.
