The stage is set for a thrilling encounter between European giants Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final. The two teams will face off at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, USA, today.
Chelsea, under the guidance of manager Enzo Maresca, has shown remarkable resilience, overcoming a group-stage loss to Flamengo to reach the final.
The Blues defeated Brazilian side Palmeiras 2-1 in the semifinals, with João Pedro scoring a crucial brace. PSG, meanwhile, has been on a roll, dismantling Real Madrid 4-0 in the semifinals and boasting a seven-match winning streak without conceding a single goal.
The final promises to be a captivating contest between Chelsea’s controlled possession style and PSG’s high-pressing, fast-paced approach.
Chelsea’s defense, marshaled by Robert Sánchez, will face a stern test against PSG’s attack, led by Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Desire Doue.
Enrique’s PSG have already won Ligue 1, the Coupe de France and Champions League this year, while Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea are aiming to become the first club to win every major honor, having completed the European set with their UEFA Conference League win in May, by lifting the Club World Cup trophy.
The winner of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will take home a whopping $40 million, with the runner-up pocketing $30 million.
These rewards add to the significant purse both teams have already accumulated throughout the tournament.
