Big favorite of the Club World Cup final on Sunday at the Metlife Stadium, in the suburbs of New York, PSG was jostled by Chelsea and the Blues ended up leading 3-0 at halftime! Cole Palmer was perfect for the finish by placing two left strikes out of the reach of Gianluigi Donnarumma. Nuno Mendes is at fault on the opening of the score.
On a clearance of Robert Sanchez, the Blues goalkeeper, in the direction of Malo Gusto on the right, the Portuguese left side negotiated the situation badly. The bullet bounded on Nuno Mendes and it sent the French international right side towards the goal. Court by Lucas Beraldo, Malo Gusto slipped the Palmer ball, which found the small opposite net (22nd).
Malo Gusto gave a single assist in the Premier League this season, on December 4 against Southampton, as well as another in League Cup against Barrow, in September 2024.
After Nuno Mendes, Beraldo …
Less than 10 minutes later, Cole Palmer challenged Lucas Beraldo full axis and fell a pass in front of the Brazilian defender to give himself the space to adjust a new strike from the left to the right of Donnarumma (30th). As a reminder, Beraldo is aligned alongside Marquinhos due to the suspension of Willian Pacho.
Chelsea rushed in the nail before half-time, bringing the scoring to 3-0! Cole Palmer has again advanced full axis and, faced with a motionless berado, put Joao Pedro in orbit in the Parisian surface. The Brazilian striker then stung his ball to deceive the Italian doorman of the Red and Blue (43rd).
