With two goals from Cole Palmer and one of Brazilian João Pedro, London team surpassed the French favoritism in the match played in New Jersey
Champion of everything he played last season, with the right to Inter Milan in the Champions League final, Paris Saint-Germain arrived for the Club World Cup final against Chelsea on Sunday (13) in New Jersey as a favorite. The team led by Luis Enrique enchanted at times of the tournament and went over opponents such as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, but in the decision it was Chelsea who widely dominated the match and won with leftovers: 3-0. With Cole Palmer show, the English team reached their second world title – the first in 2021, in an old format, in a decision against Palmeiras.
As an ugly duckling after an irregular first phase – which earned him the unfair nickname “worst Chelsea in history” – the London team has geared from the round of 16. On the way to the final passed through Benfica, Palmeiras and Fluminense, a path considered easier than his opponent in the decision. It was against Verdon that Cole Palmer, the team’s star, began to note. And in the duel with Flu debuted João Pedro, Brazilian striker hired during the tournament. His were the goals of victory over the 2-0.
In the final, Chelsea was devastating in the first half. It made it difficult to leave PSG’s ball and thus dominated the opponent, always coming dangerously. The goal was already mature when Cole Palmer hit Donnarumma’s right corner after 22 minutes, in a low kick and placed. At 30 minutes, it seemed repetition. Author of the first two goals, Palmer also gave João Pedro Cavar with category in the additions. All this before the break. In the second half, PSG tried hammering, but could not decrease and energize. Some confusions were recorded until the end of the game and until later. But nothing that takes the brightness of another achievement of the blues of London.
