‘Cole Palmer for Ballon d’Or’ – Chelsea fans set social media ablaze after Club World Cup win

Social media has been buzzing with excitement from Chelsea fans making predictions about the Ballon d’Or after they upset Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to clinch the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup on July 14.

To the surprise of many football fanatics, the London club stunned most people with their energetic display and brilliant performance from the beginning to the end of the match.

Chelsea started the game with high-intensity pressing which led to Palmer opening the score with a sublime finish in the 22nd minute, giving them the lead.

They did not relent in the game as their continuous energetic performance earned them another goal by Palmer in the 30th minute and provided an assist for João Pedro to seal an emphatic 3-0 win over favorites PSG.

The French club were passive in the game as their brilliant performance did not materialise as expected prior to the game.

The English attacker’s brilliance on the day triggered most Chelsea fans to put him in the conversation for the 2025 Ballon d’Or award.

They indicated that Palmer’s excellent performances in the tournament, especially in the final, and emerging as the Player of the Tournament, put him among the top contenders for the award.

Others also chided football pundits and fans who underestimated Chelsea’s ability to beat PSG heading into the match and announced their presence on the global stage.

Chelsea becomes the first club to win the FIFA Club World Cup and will hold bragging rights for the next four years.
