PSG looked perfect in the preliminaries and some of the knockout phase matches. But the most important thing is that Chelsea were able to break the predictions of many people. I think a lot of people lost their bets today. The match was also exciting. Red cards to Enrique's slap for Joao Pedro. PSG dominated the ball but they lacked creation. While Chelsea were effective, Palmer was the brains of this victory. Not surprising for the result, but Maresca seems to know how to break down PSG's collective efforts. I don't fully understand but Chelsea's win is a good asset for the EPL next season.
Indeed, Chelsea played freely like there was no sense of pressure at all from the start of the match. Maybe it's because they are not considered the favorite team considering PSG is able to defeat big teams like Bayern and Real Madrid.
The majority of bettors on this match after receiving the results of the first 45 minutes of the first half have lost a lot of money because they bet on PSG.
Normally, Mendes and Hakimi do a good job of breaking up attacks from the wings, but in the final, Gusto and Cucurela helped Palmer to play his best.
There was something strange about the celebration in my opinion. Trump should not have been among the Chelsea players celebrating the trophy. He was invited by the FIFA president to come down, but he stayed on stage.
The medal was also stuffed into his suit pocket.
