Winners of FIFA Club World Cup Awards

The Club World Cup final, with Chelsea's unexpected win, also had an impact on the individual level. Enzo Maresca's players populated the competition's honour roll in terms of individual merit.

Best Player of the Tournament: Cole Palmer

Aside from the fact that this trophy is usually won by a member of the winning team, his display with a brace and assist against PSG ended up making the young Englishman top the final vote. The England striker finished the Club World Cup with three goals and two assists. No one has bettered that offensive contribution.

Best Goalkeeper: Robert Sanchez

His performance in the final was of the highest standard. And not precisely for saving his team with miraculous saves (he did make some good ones when the game was already over), but for being a direct part in the implementation of Maresca's strategy and an active part in generating the first two goals on the right flank. Three clean sheets in six games complete his personal statistics.

Best Young Player: Desire Doue

A consolation prize for Luis Enrique's winger, who was not very inspired against Chelsea (like none of his teammates), but he was one of the mainstays of a tournament in which he will be immortalised in concepts such as dribbles, passes and crosses for his verticality in attack. A trophy that adds to the best player of the Champions League final.

Fair Play Award: Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich went home in the quarter-finals, but in the final match they were recognised as the most honourable team. Vincent Kompany's men saw just seven yellow cards in their five matches. In fact, in two of them (Auckland and Benfica) they ended up with none at all.
