JOÃO PEDRO AND PALMER LEAD CHELSEA TO VICTORY
Chelsea played brilliantly in the first half in New Jersey. Cole Palmer scored twice and then set up João Pedro for a great finish just before halftime. Palmer’s vision and timing gave Pedro space to lift the ball over PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, making it 3-0. This was Pedro’s third goal in two games since joining from Brighton for £55 million, showing instant impact with the team.

CHELSEA’S SEASON SO FAR AND TEAM OUTLOOK
This Club World Cup win is a boost for Chelsea, who are looking for stability under new manager Enzo Maresca. Their performance in the final, full of energy and confidence, was very different from last season’s inconsistent displays. João Pedro’s arrival has added much-needed firepower. Palmer, already Chelsea’s standout creator, continues to shine with goals and assists.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR CHELSEA AND THEIR NEW STAR?
Chelsea return to England with the Club World Cup trophy and new confidence. Their next game is against Crystal Palace for the opener of the new Premier League season. With João Pedro and Cole Palmer in great form, Chelsea now have real attacking options. The challenge will be to keep this momentum in domestic competitions. PSG, meanwhile, will regroup after the defeat. They remain Ligue 1 champions but will face questions about their defense in the final.
