Chelsea Football Club is marking a special milestone — 100 days since their unforgettable triumph at the inaugural 32-team FIFA Club World Cup. The historic final, played on July 13, 2025, at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, saw Chelsea dominate Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) with a commanding 3–0 victory, sealing their place in football history as the first winners of the expanded tournament.
The night belonged to Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernández, whose stellar performances defined the game. Palmer opened the scoring early in the first half with a composed finish before adding a second after the break, demonstrating the poise and precision that have made him one of Europe’s brightest young stars. Enzo Fernández then capped off the night with a late strike, completing a comprehensive performance that left PSG struggling to respond.
This victory not only secured the prestigious FIFA Club World Cup title but also marked the completion of Chelsea’s collection of all major official club trophies — a rare and remarkable achievement in world football. Having already conquered the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, Europa League, and UEFA Super Cup, the Club World Cup win officially placed Chelsea among the sport’s true elite.
Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate the milestone, sharing throwback videos, emotional tributes, and playful jabs at rival clubs. Many supporters reminisced about the thrilling night in New Jersey that united Blues fans across the world in celebration.
