2025 FIFA Club World Cup Team of the Tournament | OneFootball

Following the conclusion of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, we’ve put together our Team of the Tournament from the summer’s action.

Goalkeeper: Robert Sanchez – Chelsea

Robert Sanchez has had his critics at Chelsea but a strong summer should ensure he keeps the number one shirt at Stamford Bridge. Sanchez claimed the Golden Glove award and was outstanding in the final win over Paris Saint-Germain, preventing 1.66 xG.

Right-back: Achraf Hakimi – Paris Saint-Germain

The finest full-back in world football right now, Hakimi continued on from his stellar Champions League campaign with some trademark all-action performances. He scored twice and provide two assists for runners-up PSG.

Centre-back: Trevoh Chalobah – Chelsea

From outcast to central cog at Chelsea. Trevoh Chalobah remains a hugely underrated part of Enzo Maresca’s squad and had a tournament to remember in the knockout rounds.

He had the highest pass completion at the tournament, and was dribbled past just once at the Club World Cup. It’s been a remarkable 12 months for the defender.

Centre-back: Thiago Silva – Fluminense

Fluminense were the surprise package of the tournament to reach the semi-finals.

Thiago Silva provided evergreen class in central defence, with the 40-year-old marshalling the Brazilian side to the final four. Class is indeed permanent.

Left-back: Nuno Mendes – Paris Saint-Germain

A tough final should not overshadow what was a good tournament for PSG’s flying full-back. Up and down, all game, every game. The Portugal international is a force.

Midfield: Moisés Caicedo – Chelsea

Chelsea’s Player of the Year was important as ever in the US, bringing the bite and tenacity to Enzo Maresca’s midfield. Combining intelligent decision-making with dynamism, he was at the centre of Chelsea’s success.

Midfield: Vitinha – Paris Saint-Germain

The conductor of the Paris Saint-Germain side. Vitinha’s mix of energy and tempo-setting distribution is the centrepiece of Luis Enrique’s side.

That Chelsea were able to disrupt his rhythm was a key part in deciding the final.

Midfield: Cole Palmer – Chelsea

Cole Palmer was named Player of the Tournament with a man-of-the-match final performance helping him earn the crown.

Two brilliant goals and an assist did the damage against PSG, as the 22-year-old enhanced his reputation as a player for the big occasion.

His ability to toy with the best club side in world football right now was remarkable.

Right-wing: Jhon Arias – Fluminense

Expect European clubs to push for Jhon Arias this summer. The 27-year-old was a livewire during Fluminense’s run to the semi-finals, with darting runs and adventurous dribbling tormenting opposition sides. A pleasure to watch.

Left-wing: Pedro Neto – Chelsea

Pedro Neto managed just four goals during a mixed first Premier League season with Chelsea, but netted three in just six games at the Club World Cup.

Adding end product to his electric pace, he was a key part of the Chelsea attack. The Portugal international put in superb defensive shift in the final win over PSG, helping to nullify the threat of Achraf Hakimi.

Forward: Gonzalo García – Real Madrid

One of the breakout stars of the tournament, Gonzalo Garcia earned a share of the Golden Boot after scoring four goals. The Spaniard had never started a game for Real Madrid before the tournament but has now catapulted himself into Xabi Alonso’s plans for the upcoming season. Reported plans to sign an out-and-out forward are likely to be shelved.
