FIFA have officially announced Chelsea as the 'first ever' Club World Cup champions after their triumph in New Jersey on Sunday night.

The Blues beat Champions League winners, and favourites for the Club World Cup, Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday night after a Cole Palmer masterclass - the forward scoring two and assisting another.

It was a shock result, but an emphatic win on the night, with Chelsea now taking home the all-new trophy, as well as a hefty cash prize.

However, their success has seemingly had an impact beyond that match, with previous Club World Cup winners now known as 'FIFA Intercontinental Champions'.
