US President Donald Trump attended the final match, but on the field, Cole Palmer was the one who attracted all the attention.
Cole Palmer shines with 2 goals in 8 minutes
His double in the 22nd and 30th minutes and his assist for Pedro in the 43rd minute helped Chelsea pull off an unexpected shock: beating European champions PSG 3-0 to win the Club World Cup for the second time.
At the end of the match, PSG played with one less man when midfielder Joao Neves received a red card, leaving no chance to score an honorary goal.
The victory showed the tactical mark of coach E.Maresca when he let M.Gusto play from the start and Palmer made good use of every space on the right wing. Chelsea played the role of PSG throughout the tournament when pressing extremely well and taking advantage of big opportunities.
Coach Enrique may face disciplinary action after he was caught slapping J.Pedro in the face during a scuffle between the two teams at the end of the match.
Immediately after the match, Player of the Match Cole Palmer gave an interview and did not forget to praise coach Maresca: "It feels great. It's even better when people doubted our ability to win before the match. It's good to fight like we did today. I love finals, especially when we win.
The coach has a very good plan. He knows where the spaces will be. He tries to give me as much freedom as possible and I just have to repay that by scoring goals."
Palmer also stressed: "Coach Maresca is building something important, something special. People have been saying bad things about us all season but I think we are going in the right direction."
Coach Maresca talks about Cole Palmer
Coach Maresca said briefly: "I have no more words to say to the players. They deserved the trophy and it was a good moment. For me, Chelsea won the match in the first 10 minutes. We created rhythm and pressed them very well. Regarding Palmer, we found him a position with a lot of space to attack. Obviously Cole played very well but the rest of the players were also great."
Experts say this is one of Chelsea's best matches under coach Maresca. This is the first time PSG has lost a final by more than 2 goals.
Former Real Madrid star G. Bale predicted: "Chelsea has sent a warning to their opponents in the Premier League next season, after temporarily reaching the top during the Christmas period".
