On July 14, the Club World Cup final was in full swing, with two giants from the top European leagues gathering, namely the new Champions League champion Paris Saint-Germain and the European Union champion Chelsea. Unexpectedly, there was a one-sided situation in this game. Chelsea performed vividly in the offensive and defensive transformation, defeating Paris with a huge 3-0 score, completing the shocking upset. This game not only lost the game, but also caused Paris's image to be severely damaged.

As the new Champions League champion this season, Paris has shown unparalleled strength in previous games. Although Mbappe has left the team, the team has still ushered in rapid development as a whole and successfully won 4 championship titles. Before the Club World Cup, they easily defeated the strong rival Real Madrid 4-0 in the semi-finals, and the team's morale was high and they vowed to win the fifth championship of the season. However, Chelsea won the European League championship through its perseverance and also secured the Champions League qualification in the domestic arena, and its overall condition is quite stable. In the semi-finals, Chelsea won Frumenense and advanced to the finals. Therefore, although the outside world is generally optimistic about Paris's championship, it still underestimated Chelsea's potential. At the beginning of the game, Paris quickly took the ball, but Chelsea played with the precise defensive counterattack with ease. Palmer opened the situation for Chelsea in the 8th minute, and scored again shortly afterwards, catching Paris off guard. With the first half coming to an end, Palmer assisted new player Joao Pedro to expand the score to 3-0. Paris was completely stunned. Entering the second half, both sides made substitution adjustments, Chelsea stabilized the defense line to ensure that it was not lost, while Paris seemed helpless, especially after Joao Neves was sent off for a foul, the team's momentum plummeted.

In the end, Chelsea not only won the first Club World Cup championship with its absolute advantage of 3-0, but also made history. For Chelsea, the value of this victory is quite high, and achieving such a brilliant result at an overall disadvantage is a fantastic achievement. In contrast, Paris' performance was disappointing, and the tactical arrangement was completely suppressed by Chelsea. The midfield and the wings were also controlled by the opponent, causing the team to fall into a passive position. Head coach Enrique even clashed with the opponent due to emotional excitement. This is a rare situation.
