Across Europe, Chelsea’s Cole Palmer stole the show in the FIFA Club World Cup final, netting two goals and assisting the third as the Blues beat PSG 3‑0. His performance earned him the Golden Ball and shows why Chelsea are still a force in cup competitions.
Manchester City’s run ended abruptly when they fell 4‑3 to Al Hilal in the Club World Cup round of 16. A tired Erling Haaland had to leave the pitch early, and an injury to Rodri raised questions about Pep Guardiola’s squad depth for upcoming fixtures.
