UEFA Conference League holders Chelsea and reigning Champions League winners PSG are set to lock horns in a blockbuster finale at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup this Sunday.
With the MetLife Stadium in New York/New Jersey set as the setting, both European heavyweights are chasing history in what promises to be a clash for the ages.
The Blues booked their place in the title clash after a Joao Pedro double saw off Brazilian side Fluminense 2-0 in the semis. PSG, meanwhile, produced a dominant display to dismantle Real Madrid 4-0, underlining their credentials as the form team of the competition.
For Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea, Sunday’s showdown represents an opportunity to carve out a unique slice of football history. Victory would see them become the first English side to win the Club World Cup twice, having previously lifted the trophy in 2021 after edging out Palmeiras.
However, defeat would carry an unwanted distinction; no club has ever lost two finals in the tournament’s history, a fate that would haunt Chelsea following their 2012 loss to Corinthians.
On the other side, PSG stand on the verge of a historic breakthrough. Making their debut at the global event, the Parisians could clinch their maiden world crown and put the cherry on top of a flawless season, already boasting four trophies in their cabinet.
A win would not only cement their dominance this year but also etch their name into football’s elite circle on the international stage.
