With the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, Chelsea became the first Premier League team that made PSG defeat in the knockout round of a big tournament this year.
On the morning of July 14, Chelsea defeated PSG 3-0 to crown the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, helping the Premier League end the nightmare from Paris.
Since the beginning of 2025, PSG proved formidable strength and showed the “carved” of a series of British teams in European tournaments, before being blocked by Chelsea in the last final.
Earlier, Manchester City (the Champions League period), Liverpool (round of 16 Champions League), Aston Villa (Champions League quarter -finals) and Arsenal (Champions League semi -finals), both lost to PSG.
Further, in the 2024/25 season, Arsenal won PSG 2-0 at the Champions League class in October last year. However, when the two teams reunited in the Champions League semi -finals, the “Gunners” lost to PSG in both matches.
Liverpool also won PSG 1-0 in the first leg of the 16th round of the Champions League 2024/25, but Arne Slot's team lost in the second leg and was then eliminated by the opponent in the penalty series.
With the victory in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 final, Chelsea broke PSG's impressive achievements against the British teams this year.
Chelsea became the first champion of the new World Cup. With coach Enzo Maresca, this title with Chelsea means it is like winning the Champions League.
The Italian captain emphasized: “I told the player that the importance of Club World Cup is equivalent, or even more than the Champions League. Because this is the tournament that brings together the world's top teams.
I am honored to participate in the Man City championship in the Champions League a few seasons ago. But Club World Cup is another story, we consider this a great achievement and fans can be proud when Chelsea will bring the badge of the world champion on Austria in the next few years. “
