Chelsea stars were lauded by their partners after their stunning 3-0 victory over PSG in the FIFA Club World Cup final, as their arduous season drew to a close in fine fashion.
Cole Palmer struck twice and Joao Pedro netted a third for the Blues at the MetLife Stadium in New York, as Enzo Marseca’s side shocked the reigning European champions.
After winning the expanded 32-team tournament, the Blues were presented with the trophy by US President Donald Trump.
Chelsea players had looked bewildered as Trump remained on stage during their trophy celebrations, with Palmer appearing to say ‘What’s he doing?’.
Following the ceremony, Chelsea stars were reunited with their friends and family on the pitch.
The final completed a lengthy and successful season for the Premier League side, with Chelsea earning Champions League qualification as well as winning the lucrative Club World Cup and Conference League.

The Blues first pre-season match had come nearly a year ago when they faced Wrexham on July 24 in the United States, with their first competitive fixture of 2025-26 held nearly 11 months ago against Man City.
Chelsea winger Pedro Neto was embraced on the pitch following the victory by his girlfriend Carolina Cunha e Silva, with the pair pictured kissing while holding the trophy.
Silva toasted her partner’s success on Instagram, writing ‘There was no better way to end the season’, while sharing a series of photos from the final and on-field celebrations.
Enzo Fernandez’s girlfriend Valentina Cervantes highlighted his continued success in her post.
Fernandez has enjoyed a stunning couple of years with Argentina, but has now started to secure silverware with the Blues.
The Club World Cup success follows Fernandez winning the 2022 World Cup and 2024 Copa America with Argentina, while he recently picked up a Conference League winners medal with Chelsea.
Sharing a photo with Fernandez and their two children, Cervantes wrote ‘One more again and keep winning.
‘What pride and admiration you make us feel and live unforgettable moments that remain in our memory forever.’

Reports suggested that Maresca had offered his players a high degree of freedom throughout the competition.
Maintaining professionalism has remained an imperative, but the players were trusted to enjoy some downtime following an arduous campaign.
Ahead of the final, a number of Chelsea stars had been joined by their partners in enjoying downtime between matches and taking in the sights during the competition.
In addition, the club were said to have brought in FA staff to organise the team’s camp including accommodation and activities for the players’ families.

It is understood that many of the group flew out once Chelsea reached the knockout stages as the club held a team bonding BBQ at their Miami base.
Since then, a number of the WAGs, including Fernandez’s girlfriend Valentina Cervantes remained with the group in the build-up to the final.
On Saturday Cervantes shared a snap of herself watching a Blues training session as Maresca put his finishing touches on the game plan for the clash with Les Parisiens.
Meanwhile, the partners of Pedro Neto, Marc Cucurella and Filip Jorgensen took to the streets of the Big Apple to do some sightseeing.
Neto’s girlfriend, Carolina Cunha e Silva, even donned a baseball jersey adorned with the Portuguese foward’s name as the Blues defeated Fluminense.
