French daily L'Equipe rated Cole Palmer as the best player of the match. The 23-year-old star of "The Blues" received a score of 9/10, the highest in the match, after scoring twice against the European champions and was also awarded the double title of "Player of the Final" as well as "Player of the Tournament".
Cole Palmer was the highest rated player in the final.
L'Equipe also rated Palmer's performance as "one of the best". This is a worthy recognition for the striker born in 2002, who is increasingly asserting his influence in the Stamford Bridge team.
Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez had 6 saves, equivalent to 1.35 goals
Alongside Palmer, goalkeeper Robert Sanchez also surprisingly received a lot of praise after making 6 excellent saves, helping Chelsea keep a clean sheet against PSG's powerful attack. L'Equipe gave the Spanish goalkeeper 8/10 points - a rare recognition for a goalkeeper who has been criticized a lot since joining Chelsea.
Malo Gusto gets very high marks
Defender Malo Gusto also had an impressive performance with 8/10 points, especially his ability to block PSG winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Meanwhile, Joao Pedro - the player who scored Chelsea's third goal - received 7/10 points for his effective performance.

In contrast to Chelsea, PSG received a "storm" of criticism from the French media after the heavy defeat.
L'Equipe did not hesitate to give the PSG team an average score of only 2.9/10 - the worst score in the history of the Paris team in an international final.
Even coach Luis Enrique only got 3/10 points.
The entire PSG team was given an incredibly low score.
Five PSG players were given a 2/10 rating, including Ousmane Dembele, Nuno Mendes, Lucas Beraldo, Joao Neves and Kvaratskhelia himself - who had a lacklustre performance, managing just one shot throughout the match. Neves was also sent off in the 85th minute for pulling Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella's hair.
L'Equipe does not hesitate to give PSG low scores
PSG's frustration reached its peak after the match when coach Luis Enrique was caught on camera hitting striker Joao Pedro in the neck. Although Enrique explained that he was only trying to stop the players, the incident caused the Spanish strategist to receive a lot of criticism.
Enrique said: "The unfortunate incident was completely avoidable. I intended to separate the players who were pushing each other. They were very stressed and under a lot of pressure."
Luis Enrique "got physical" with Joao Pedro after the match
The architect of the victory, coach Enzo Maresca - who was given a 9/10 score by L'Equipe - shared: "I have nothing more to say about the players. They completely deserved this victory. For me, the match was decided in the first 10 minutes when we created great rhythm and pressure."
Architect Enzo Maresca will take Chelsea to new heights
Chelsea's second Club World Cup title helps them join the group of "big guys" who have won the tournament twice, equal to Bayern Munich and Corinthians, behind only Real Madrid (5 titles) and Barcelona (3 titles).
With a talented squad of young players and coach Maresca, "The Blues" fans have the right to hope for a brighter future.
