The French giants steamrolled everyone in their path across 2025, but fell at the final hurdle in the Club World Cup as Enzo Maresca and Chelsea devised the perfect tactical plan — beat PSG at their own game.

After a dominant run to the Club World Cup final, PSG looked like a shell of itself as Chelsea claimed the victory with a 3-0 rout. Cole Palmer opened the scoring for the Premier League side in the 22nd minute with a tucked finish to the bottom left corner, out of the reach of PSG goalie Gianluigi Donnarumma.
