EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Cole Palmer rang up two goals and one assist in a sensational first half and Chelsea toppled Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 to win the FIFA Club World Cup on Sunday.

A horror tackle on Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala overshadowed Paris Saint-Germain’s 2-0 victory in the Club World Cup on Saturday. The Gianluigi Donnarumma reaction to Musiala injury said it all.

Moments before halftime the two players collided in PSG’s penalty area as the Italian goalkeeper came out to claim the ball. Donnarumma took out Musiala in the process and the German’s leg got stuck under the goalkeeper.

What happened next is one of the worst injuries we’ve seen in the sport. The PSG goalkeeper was overwhelmed with emotion.

June 22 (Reuters) - Athletic Bilbao rebuked fans who erased winger Nico Williams from a players' mural, declaring that those who "disrespect one of our own" have no place in the club's family amid transfer speculation linking him to Barcelona.
