Cole Palmer: Two‑Goal, One‑Assist Hero in Chelsea’s Club World Cup Victory

In a monumental performance, Cole Palmer led Chelsea to a resounding 3–0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final, held at MetLife Stadium. His scintillating display in the first half — scoring two goals and assisting João Pedro — earned him well-deserved Man of the Match and Golden Ball accolades.

The Performance in Detail

  • In the 22nd minute, Palmer capitalized on a defensive misstep by PSG’s Nuno Mendes, finishing Gabriel M̶a̶l̶o̶ Gusto’s rebound into the bottom-left corner.

  • Shortly after, in the 30th minute, he struck again with a composed finish—cutting inside after a through ball from Levi Colwill, dummied past a defender, and netted another precise shot.

  • His third contribution came in the 43rd minute, setting up João Pedro with a perfectly timed pass, allowing the Brazilian forward to chip Gianluigi Donnarumma for the third goal.

By half-time, Chelsea held a commanding 3–0 lead, largely thanks to Palmer's complete domination of PSG's defensive lines.


Match Impact & Legacy

Palmer’s first-half heroics not only defined the final but also symbolized Chelsea’s tactical success. His vision, composure, and technical proficiency dismantled PSG’s structure, leaving the French team overwhelmed. With no response in the second half and a dismissal for João Neves adding insult to injury, Chelsea celebrated global supremacy.

This performance cements Palmer’s status as the tournament’s standout player and marks a defining moment in his young career—a global stage firmly conquered.
