Meremekan Chelsea Jadi Petaka Buat PSG

Chelsea is ready to be included in the competition map in the UK and Europe (Instagram/@fifaclubworldcup).

JAKARTA - The 2025 Club World Cup Final has passed. Chelsea unexpectedly won after submerging Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) 3-0 on Monday, July 14, 2025, early morning WIB.

The Blues' victory was clearly never predicted by many people. Before the tournament started, PSG became a favorite to become a champion.

A brilliant performance in the 2024/2025 season with trendable intercontinental, Champions League, Ligue 1, and Couple de France, became a reference.

Before entering the final match, Luis Enrique - PSG manager - has boasted that he wants to perfect the 2024/2025 season with the 2025 Club World Cup trophy.

In fact, PSG was helpless. Making Chelsea the underdog turned out to be a disaster.

Chelsea players also agree with the boisterous public favorites. Even so, it was a motivation for the Blues.

"It looks like (the favorite PSG champion), right? From everything we read and saw in the interview, that's the truth."

"They have had a very good season, but they have never faced us. PSG have a lot of quality, they play with high intensity and energy."

"But for me, we have a much better quality. I told team-mates that we have more energy than them, more intensity than them, and we will win the game."

"That's what we did. We pressed them from the first minute and when we got the chance, goals were created."

"Extraordinary financials. We are trying hard in this tournament, so we deserve it."

"I'm very happy, happy, because we played a great game and were able to score goals. We could even score more goals," said Chelsea goalkeeper who also won the Golden Hand Glove, Roberto Sanchez.

Liam Delap also agrees with the notion that many people underestimate Chelsea. However, that situation actually made Enzo Maresca's team more confident in the final.

"Obviously there was a lot of talk before the game, but we have confidence and confidence."

"We know if we run the game plan, we will win. We show it."

"Every player on the field has their own roles. We have to be hungry and fight for every ball and every duel, and have to be clinical when needed."

"We did it. I think this is a very special group. I think we can go on to achieve great things," said Delap.

Chelsea's stunning appearance seems to emphasize that they have returned to European competition. Moreover, they will play in the 2025/2026 Champions League which has a chance to meet PSG again.

Since the 2022/2023 season, the Blues seem to have disappeared from the power of European football due to failing to qualify for a place in the Champions League through the Premier League standings ( 12th place).

They improved in the 2023/2024 season (the sixth place in the Premier League) by winning a ticket to the UEFA Conference League for the 2024/2025 season.

It was through Europe's third-level tournament that Chelsea began to prove themselves. In the 2024/2025 season - since the arrival of Enzo Maresca - The Blues were unexpectedly re-entered on the European football power list.

Chelsea even managed to finish fourth in the 2024/2025 Premier League, which was actually able to get a ticket to the Champions League.

However, the Blues reiterated by winning the UEFA Conference League 2024/2025.

Maresca has turned Chelsea back into a calculated team. Chelsea's win over PSG which was initiated by Cole Palmer's two goals and Joao Pedro's one goal - which came from Palmer's assist - brought a danger signal.

Palmer became the Best Player of the Match because of his role. In fact, he also won the 2025 Club World Cup Player of the Year award.

Led by Palmer, Chelsea are ready to surprise again, both in the UK and Europe, even though the spotlight has not turned on them. The Blues can no longer be underestimated.
