Chelsea won the Club World Cup final against PSG at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on the 14th (Korea time) thanks to Cole Palmer's multi-goal in the 22nd and 30th minutes of the first half and João Pedro's net in the 43rd minute of the first half. It was an absolute win over European champion PSG that no one expected.
Chelsea, who scored three goals in the first half, succeeded in blocking the PSG offensive in the second half. With the championship becoming increasingly distant, the tension and anger gauge of PSG players rose, and Juan Neves, who lost his composure, accepted the red card as a dirty act of pulling Cucurella's hair. After that, there was a rough tackle.
PSG lost the game but also the manners. Hotter clashes erupted shortly after Chelsea's victory. After the closing whistle, PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and Pedro, who wore a Chelsea jersey two weeks ago, clashed while exchanging a few words. With PSG coach Akraf Hakimi and Luis Enrique also participating in the war, Pedro was seen falling to the floor as a martial play unfolded. There was great confusion. The situation ended when the coaching staff ripped Enrique off and Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca pulled the players out of the scene, but it was a scene of 'Ugly'.
The Daily Mail said 'It's an unexpected development. In the video, Luis Enrique is confirmed as the person who knocked Juan Pedro on the floor. PSG manager appears to have pushed Pedro in the face in anger at his actions. Enrique's actions are shameful. It shouldn't be like that.' 'If you want to be celebrated for success, you must be humble even in case of defeat.
European Champions League winners PSG were the strongest contenders for the Club World Cup, while Europa Conference League winners Chelsea were rated one step below PSG in relative power. However, the soccer ball is round, and the beauty of the game lies in the unexpected and unexpected turnaround.
Palmer, who led Chelsea's history of winning the Club World Cup with a multi-goal, said "It's a great feeling. It was better because everyone doubted us before the game. The coach came up with a great game plan. He knew where the space was. He allowed me to play as freely as possible and I had to score a goal to repay that belief."
Chelsea manager Maresca said `It's a special moment. There's been a lot of nonsense about us all season but I feel we're heading in the right direction" expressed his feelings about winning the championship. "There is nothing more to say to the players. The players all deserve this trophy and it's a good moment." "The game was decided in the first 10 minutes. I was very good at catching the rhythm and putting pressure on my opponent. It was a tough condition, but our players did a good job," he said, expressing his pride.
