In a moment that highlighted the spirit of football beyond competition, Real Madrid publicly congratulated Chelsea after the English team won the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup title in decisive style.
Chelsea Claims Historic Title in Style
Chelsea made headlines worldwide after defeating Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, the Premier League champions delivered a nearly perfect first half that surprised Luis Enrique’s PSG and effectively sealed the match early.
Although the second half brought more tension and even led to a scuffle between players, Chelsea remained strong and secured their first-ever Club World Cup under the tournament’s new format.
Real Madrid Shows Class After Semifinal Exit
Just days before, Real Madrid faced a 4-0 loss against PSG in the semifinals, a tough setback for the Spanish giants. Still, after their elimination, the club quickly expressed respect for the new champions.
On their official channels, Real Madrid commended Chelsea’s achievement, calling it a “well-deserved” title, and took a moment to thank FIFA and its president, Gianni Infantino, for organizing what many considered a successful tournament.
Official Club Statement
“Congratulations to Chelsea and all its fans for the well-deserved Club World Cup title. And many congratulations to FIFA and its president, Gianni Infantino, for the excellent organization of the 2025 Club World Cup.”
Eyes Back on Bigger Goals
While Madrid’s Club World Cup journey ended sooner than anticipated, the focus now shifts to the rest of the season. With La Liga and the UEFA Champions League still in play, Los Blancos are determined to recover and end the year with trophies.
This display of sportsmanship, even in defeat, reminds us of why Real Madrid continues to be respected, not only for their football skills but also for their dignity and professionalism off the pitch.
