Chelsea (England) rose to the throne on the 14th (Korea time) with a 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain (PSG, France) in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
FIFA ambitiously operated on a small club World Cup. Like the World Cup, 32 teams participated every four years, turning it into a competition to determine the best club in the world. Chelsea have been crowned the first championship team. I sat on a cushion of money, too. Chelsea won a total of $129.5 million (178.3 billion won), including $40 million (about 55 billion won) in prize money from the victory.
Chelsea topped the Europa Conference League in 2024-2025 and achieved a 'double (two golds)'. Cole Palmer, who scored two goals and one assist in the match against PSG, was named the tournament's most valuable player.
PSG won the European Champions League (UCL), League 1, Coupe de France (France Cup), and Trope de Champion (France Super Cup). Winning the Club World Cup allowed him to win his first five gold medals, but he was frustrated at that threshold. Lee Kang-in missed the final.

Ten minutes later, fans were puzzled by the red card 'revenge'. When Cucurella stopped with his body near the penalty arc, Neves no longer held back. I pulled Cucurella's running hair.
Cucurella fell down. The referee, who did not see the scene, took out a red card after an on-field review of VAR. Neves left the ground without delay.
Cucurella's long-haired hardship is nothing new. Southampton Jack Stevens was sent off for a similar incident last season. Tottenham's Christian Romero pulled Cucurella's hair in August 2022 but went unpunished. I was lucky to have a bad call. Cucurella has repeatedly expressed her intention to stick to her hairstyle despite continuous long hair attacks.
There were also clashes shortly after Chelsea's victory was confirmed. PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and Chelsea newbie Joao Pedro clashed after a verbal battle. Pedro fell to the floor with Archiraf Hakimi and PSG coach Luis Enrique also participating.
The situation ended when the coaching staff ripped Enrique off and Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca pulled the players out of the field, but the backbiting was rampant.
