It’s Chelsea vs. Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup final—and both teams are chasing global glory in what promises to be an unforgettable showdown.
Chelsea’s Road to the Final
Chelsea fans have had plenty to cheer about lately.
After lifting a European trophy and booking a spot in next season’s Champions League, the Blues have stormed through the Club World Cup in fine form.
They’ve won five of their last six games in the competition. The latest?
A calm and confident 2-0 victory over Fluminense, with new boy Joao Pedro bagging a brace.
Not bad for a full debut, right?
Before that, Chelsea:
Chelsea are one step away from capping off the year with another major trophy.

- Knocked out Palmeiras in the quarters
- Survived a stormy, extra-time clash against Benfica
- Took second place in their group, despite losing to Flamengo
It hasn’t been a flawless run, but Enzo Maresca’s men have found a way.
And now, after turning their season around following a rocky mid-campaign patch, they’re one step away from capping off the year with another major trophy.
PSG’s Ruthless Rampage
PSG have been on fire.
After an early stumble against Botafogo, they’ve bounced back in brutal fashion—winning four straight games without conceding a single goal.
PSG look scary right now.

Their path to the final has been impressive:
- Breezed past Inter Miami
- Took down Bayern Munich 2-0
- Then crushed Real Madrid 4-0 in the semis
Goals from Fabian Ruiz and Goncalo Ramos sealed that statement win over Madrid.
PSG’s players aren’t just playing for fun—they’re dominating.
After winning the Champions League and the Coupe de France, they now have a quadruple in their sights.
With Luis Enrique leading the charge—a manager who’s done this before with Barcelona—they’re looking unstoppable.
Team News: Who’s In, Who’s Out?
Chelsea Updates:
- Good news: Moises Caicedo is back after an ankle issue.
- Bad news: Romeo Lavia, Dario Essugo, and Benoit Badiashile are doubtful.
- Noni Madueke might not feature due to transfer talks with Arsenal.
- Suspended duo Levi Colwill and Liam Delap are back and ready.
- New signings Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Estevao can’t play in this tournament.
- Keep an eye on Joao Pedro—he’s in red-hot form and could lead the line again.
PSG Updates
- Just two suspensions: Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez.
- Lucas Beraldo is expected to slot into defense alongside Marquinhos.
- Ousmane Dembele is now fit and firing—expect him to start in attack.
Predicted Lineups
Chelsea (4-2-3-1):
Sanchez; Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Neto, Palmer, Nkunku; Pedro
PSG (4-3-3):
Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Doue
Match Prediction: Chelsea 1-3 PSG
Let’s be honest—PSG look scary right now.
With a high-energy press and some of the best attacking talent in the world, they’ve steamrolled some of Europe’s top clubs to get here.
Chelsea have shown fight, but this might be a step too far.
PSG already knocked them out of Europe in 2015 and 2016, and they could do it again—this time with a trophy on the line.
Expect a hard-fought battle, but don’t be surprised if PSG lift their fourth piece of silverware in just three months.
Well, this is just prediction based on current form. In football, anything can happen. It may even be 3-2 in Chelsea’s favour.
Who would have thought that Liverpool would surrender the Carabao Cup to Newcastle, or that Crystal Palace would snatch the FA Cup from Man City’s grip?
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re Team Chelsea or Team PSG, this is more than just a match—it’s a statement game.
