Summer signing Jo\u00e3o Pedro, who has now scored three goals in the tournament, sealed the win with a composed finish in the second half.<\/p>\n<p>This triumph marks Chelsea\u2019s second Club World Cup title, having first won the tournament in 2021. The dominant display from the Premier League side firmly reinforces their status as a global football powerhouse.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21332\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/skysports-chelsea-palmer-james_6964212.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While PSG improved after the break\u2014Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 hit the post and Vitinha narrowly missed with a curling effort\u2014the French champions failed to break down Chelsea\u2019s resolute defence. The game ultimately turned sour for PSG in the dying minutes when Jo\u00e3o Neves was shown a straight red card for pulling Marc Cucurella\u2019s hair.<\/p>\n<p>Tensions boiled over as PSG manager Luis Enrique reacted angrily on the touchline, reportedly confronting Chelsea\u2019s Jo\u00e3o Pedro in a manner that could earn him a suspension. The conduct of PSG\u2019s players and technical team in the second half drew criticism, with many labelling it unsportsmanlike.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the drama, Chelsea held firm and deservedly lifted the trophy. With the UEFA Super Cup and now the FIFA Club World Cup added to their recent honours, the Blues continue to expand their dominance beyond English and European football.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21333\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/skysports-donald-trump-chelsea_6964277.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea FC were crowned FIFA Club World Cup champions for the second time after a commanding 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in a pulsating final [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21331,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
