Chelsea were crowned 2025 FIFA Club World Cup champions after a commanding 3-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain at the iconic MetLife Stadium on Sunday night. Among those celebrating the trophy triumph were Super Eagles-eligible duo Tosin Adarabioyo and Tyrique George, who, despite not featuring in the final, played key roles in Chelsea’s successful campaign.

Under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, the Blues dominated from start to finish, with Cole Palmer grabbing a clinical brace in the 22nd and 30th minutes before Joao Pedro capped it off with a delightful chip just before half-time.

Adarabioyo, 27, had earlier stamped his mark on the tournament, scoring a powerful header in Chelsea’s 3-0 group stage win over Esperance de Tunis, demonstrating both his defensive strength and threat in the air.

Teen sensation Tyrique George, only 19, also made headlines in that match, coming off the bench to score in stoppage time, becoming Chelsea’s youngest-ever scorer in a Club World Cup at 19 years and 141 days. George, who is eligible to represent Nigeria and Ghana, impressed throughout the tournament, following a breakthrough season in the UEFA Conference League.

While the final saw them remain on the bench, their earlier contributions helped Chelsea reach the knockout rounds and ultimately lift their second Club World Cup trophy.

PSG’s night unraveled after a red card to Joao Neves in the 86th minute, while Chelsea’s goalkeeper Robert Sanchez produced a string of crucial saves to preserve a clean sheet.

With Adarabioyo cementing his place as a defensive stalwart and George emerging as a promising attacking talent, both players have enhanced their reputations — offering fresh hope for Nigeria’s Super Eagles ahead of future international assignments.
