Chelsea Vs PSG Preview
It all comes down to this, Paris Saint-Germain vs Chelsea, a continental heavyweight clash in New Jersey, with the title of world champions on the line.
From Flamengo and Fluminense to Madrid and Munich, the 2025 Club World Cup has delivered blockbuster after blockbuster. But Sunday’s final at the MetLife Stadium is the grandest of them all, two powerhouses, two different footballing identities, one giant trophy.
Chelsea’s American Dream
Let’s start with the Blues. It’s been a chaotic, mixed-bag season for Chelsea, but they’ve found form when it’s mattered most. Winners of the Conference League? Check. Champions League qualification? Check. Club World Cup finalists? Also check.
Joao Pedro, Chelsea’s flashy new forward, looks like he’s been playing under Enzo Maresca for years. A brace against boyhood club Fluminense sealed semi-final progress, continuing a run that saw the Blues beat Benfica, Palmeiras, and Flu en route to the final.
Despite an early stumble to Flamengo in the group stage, Chelsea bounced back with five wins from six, not bad for a side that had to weather mid-season slumps, squad rebuilds, and tactical tweaks.

And now, with Levi Colwill and Liam Delap back from suspension, Moises Caicedo fully fit, and Joao Pedro on a hot streak, Chelsea will fancy their chances, even if Lavia, Essugo, Badiashile, and Madueke remain question marks.
PSG: Unstoppable Force, Relentless Rhythm
PSG have been a machine. Since a minor hiccup against Botafogo, Luis Enrique’s side have gone into Terminator mode, wiping out Inter Miami, Bayern Munich, and most recently, Real Madrid, and they didn’t just beat them, they humiliated them.
A 4-0 thumping of Madrid, clinical finishes from Fabian Ruiz, and a late flourish from Goncalo Ramos underlined just how dangerous this team has become. Kvaratskhelia and Dembele are flying. Ruiz and Vitinha are pulling strings. Marquinhos leads the backline with his usual elegance, and Donnarumma has barely had to make a save this tournament.
