There was no suspense — and PSG made sure to make that even clearer. With overwhelming superiority, the Parisians took advantage of the mistakes and spaces conceded by the Blues to settle the duel at Stamford Bridge and advance on aggregate 8-2. The match started decided right away: in the fifth minute, Mamadou Sarr made a mistake in possession and gifted the ball to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to open the scoring, immediately making it 6-2 on aggregate. The second goal came in a lightning-fast counter-attack by Bradley Barcola, and Senny Mayulu completed the rout in the 62nd minute. Chelsea entered the field still bearing the scar of the humiliation suffered by PSG in the 2025 Club World Cup final — when the English side beat the French 3-0 — but this time the story was completely different.
