His finishes were almost carbon copies from the edge of the box into Donnarumma&#8217;s right corner.<\/p>\n<p>Joao Pedro added a third in the 43rd minute, effectively ending the contest before halftime. His goal came off a slick move down the left and a great through ball from Palmer.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"qme\">\ud83d\udc51 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5Y42HW6C2h\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/5Y42HW6C2h<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChelseaFC\/status\/1944494942287475159?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">July 13, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>While PSG improved after the break, creating chances through Ousmane Dembele, who was stopped by Sanchez and Vitinha, who narrowly missed from distance, they were unable to penetrate Chelsea\u2019s defense.
