Cole Palmer had a dream final for Chelsea as he scored two goals and provided an assist in their 3-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 final. Palmer scored in the 22nd and 30th minutes and assisted Joao Pedro’s goal in the 43rd minute.
Heading into the match, PSG were considered favourites, especially being the current UEFA Champions League winners and having defeated Inter Miami and Real Madrid in style on their way to the final. But Palmer stepped up in the big game, guiding Chelsea to the title.
Palmer was named the Golden Ball winner for being the best player of the tournament, finishing with three goals and two assists.
Speaking to DAZN after the final, Palmer expressed his joy and pride: “I like finals. It’s happened again. It’s a great feeling. Even better because everyone doubted us before the game, we knew that. To put a fight on like we did, it’s good.”
Maresca Praises Palmer, Explains Tactics
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca was full of praise for Palmer and shared how the team approached the match: “Obviously Cole played really well but the effort from all the players was fantastic. The idea was go man-to-man because if you leave spaces to PSG they will kill you, so we tried to be very aggressive and suffocate them early on and that intensity was crucial in the first 10 minutes due to the scorching heat, that was really difficult conditions to play as the game progresses.”
