The numbers behind the drama: A statistical review of the Club World Cup

The renewed Club World Cup, a month of tournament where, presumably, the best in the world would fight against each other in a festival of football, is finally over.

Before we stay back on some of the most revealing statistics of the tournament, it is worth considering whether the competition in its current form is a really good new alternative to what happened earlier and what is currently available in terms of club tournaments, or that this was nothing more than a fifa -junky who had the last players who had the game's players in the game's game's players in the game's game's players run from the competition seasons …

Whatever your personal view is, let's dive in some of the best statistics of the Club World Cup 2025!

The early stages of CWC were a shame

Certainly, in the early stages of the tournament, when the will of Bayern Munich Auckland City defeated 10-0, Manchester City Al Ain 6-0 and crowds were scarce, there seemed to be a concern that Gianni Infantino's Vanity Project would fall on the face.

By the time Chelsea lifted the trophy after a stunning 3-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the final, there had been enough moments of quality to turn a story, with all Hilal's Epic 4-3 victory over Manchester City and PSG's 4-0 of Real Madrid's two striking matches.

Although Los Blancos' find of the tournament, Gonzalo Garcia, was not on target in their loss for the Ligue 1 Giants, he had already cost four goals and offered one assist to see him end up in terms of goal and auxiliary contributions on top of the tree.

Benfica veteran, Angel di Maria, was just behind with four goals (but no assists), and unique, all his goals were of the penalty spot and were all scored in the first half or second half injury time.

Guirassy will be disappointed by his output

Cole Palmer's Double In the final, he saw him end the tournament in the sixth position with three goals and two assists in general, while colleague Chelsea Ace, the three goals of Joao Pedro from five shots gave 80% shot faultiness.

18 attempts (of which 11 on goal wounds) by Borussia Dortmund's Serhou Guirassy saw him lead that specific statistics, although only four resulted in goals, which is more than a bit disappointing.

Pep Guardiola's Man City Side was the most accurate joint at the World Cup with 93%pass completion, although they only took that crown from PSG (92%) and Chelsea (91%).

It was the Parisiens who earned the award of Top Passers at the tournament with a total of 4,265. Given that they had seven players in the top 10 – Vitinha (771), Achraf Hakimi (556), Marquinhos (442), Nuno Mendes (400), Fabian Ruiz (381), Joao Neves (371) and Willian Pacho (362) – that is no real surprise.

Although the 44 forced turnover of Hakimi saw him take the gold medal position with regard to a defensive contribution, that is somewhat misleading. Al Hilal's Nasser Aldawsari made only one less, but his 196 defending pressure was much more than anyone in the tournament. Hakimi only had 77 compared to.

Jude Bellingham van Real Madrid, often praised for his all -round contributions, could only manage 36 forced turnover and despite the fact that the 120 crosses from his side are the most attempted tournament, a bad 20% accuracy, not only in the scratching of FC Salzburg and Lafc in this respect, but against their inability.

Bounou's sensational versions see him recognize

It is sometimes said that keepers also win games, and that is why it is great to see Hilal's Yassine Bounou in the top layer after a few sensational versions.

Although the way in which certain statistics are calculated, led to being jointly placed in the official ranking of the FIFA, 91 Farations, 132 goalkeeper actions in the penalty area and 111 were the highest of every custodian at the World Cup club.

Gianluigi Donnarumma was first placed for the simple reason that he kept more clean sheets (five) than anyone else, while Robert Sanchez of Chelsea, who had a brilliant final, came in second place.

In terms of players movements, the top 10 is only dominated by Chelsea, PSG and Real Madrid players.

When I looked at those exponents that made offers to receive the ball, the Ligue 1 -side took the top four positions, with vitinha, not surprising, most active in this respect (1587 separate players' involvement and 481 offers to receive).

The Jhon Arias van Fluminense chose most receptions under pressure (182), even if his total player involvement (643) faded in insignificance compared to the diligent impressions of the Portuguese.

Chelsea earned their triumph despite the combative style

Three Chelsea players in the top 10 for errors committed – Moises Caicedo (14), Marc Cucurella (13) and Enzo Fernandez (10) – under a collective 101 (also a tournament high), is a decent barometer for the combative game that helps see that the blues go all the way to the title.

They may not win fans by playing in such a way, but that is not worried that someone connected to the Stamford Bridge outfit.

Moreover, their 17 goals, 12 assists and 109 attempts were the most important during the tournament, and their 4,082 passes were only second after PSG, so it cannot be said that Chelsea did not earn their triumph.
