Chelsea Drubs Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 to Emerge FIFA World cup Champions 

Chelsea FC ended their season in style with a dominant 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain to lift the FIFA Club World Cup on Sunday night.

 

The Blues stunned the UEFA Champions League winners with three first-half goals to seal the prestigious international title their second trophy of the season under new manager Enzo Maresca.

 

Cole Palmer was the star of the show, netting a clinical brace before Brazilian forward Joao Pedro added a third, leaving Luis Enrique’s PSG shell-shocked in the first 45 minutes.

 

The victory caps off a remarkable turnaround for Chelsea, who also claimed the UEFA Europa Conference League this season. With the Club World Cup triumph, the West London side secured a rare international double a testament to the immediate impact of Maresca in his debut campaign at Stamford Bridge.

 

The victory marks a dream debut season for Enzo Maresca, who was appointed last summer after a brief stint at Leicester City. Often praised for his tactical flexibility and calm demeanor, Maresca has rejuvenated a young Chelsea squad and steered them to continental glory.

 

For Chelsea, the win not only brings silverware but also reaffirms their place on the global stage after a turbulent period post 2021 Champions League glory. The Club World Cup victory serves as a significant confidence boost as they prepare for a return to the UEFA Champions League next season.

 

PSG, meanwhile, will have questions to answer despite a historic Champions League win in June. Their failure to match Chelsea’s intensity may cast a shadow on an otherwise successful campaign.
