Chelsea vs PSG .
Venue – MetLife , Stadium , New Jersey , USA
Date – July 13, 2025 .
Time – 8 pm , UK

The stage is set for the finals of the new format FIFA Club World Cup of 32 teams that started one month ago , with only two teams remaining after a long drawn battle of qualifications from the group games to the round of 16 , quarter finals , then the semi finals , and finally the finals today in New Jersey s stadium , MetLife , when Chelsea and PSG lock horns for a Cup glory .
The Blues had previously dismissed two Brazilian teams to get to this stage while PSG in a similar fashion edged out two European heavy weights , Bayern Muinich and Real Madrid respectively .

The Blues have had a productive summer with a Continental win at the Confenence league with a win against Real Betis whom they pummueod 4-1 as well as qualifying for the champions league next season at the close of the season in their last match against Nothigham Forest at City grounds with a 1-0 win before heading to the United States for the FIFA Club World Cup .
They have posted five wins from six matches before dismissing Brazilian giants Fluiminense with a 2-0 win ,in the semi finals , courtesy of two goals from either half from their new recruit , Joan Pedro .en route to the show piece today , a clear cut message to Enzo Maresca that Joan can be a perfect fit for his attacking puzzle

After seeing off fellow Fluminense fellow Brazilians Palmerias in the last eight , they went ahead to ease off Benfica of Portugal in a similar fashion but his time stretched to the extra time due to the bad weather condrion s that brought thunderstorm during the match that later went into extra time when Benfica drew level , then resumption of extra time the tally was increased in a dehumanizing manner against the tactically deficient Portuguese 1-4 .
All the same Chelsea s journey so far has been fairly smooth .

They say every disappointment is a blessing , the Blues came second in their Group D ,after slumping 3-1 with a 10 Man squad against Fluiminense Rio rivals , Flamengo , courtesy of Nicolas Jackson red card , thereby avoiding big European opponents in the other side of the draw , like Real Madrid , Bayern and PSG.
Chelsea are on their way to end the season with two cup doubles after the Clear lake Capital Revolution and their 2022 championship victories from previous championship in 2021 , provided they over come European champions , PSG tonight
Series of reshuffle have been made in the Blues line up after a mid season slump that almost marred Enzo Maresca s first season at Stamford Bridge , then the Conference league winners are just a few hours from another emphatic Cup glory .

The Les Pariens , PSG have both surprised themselves as well the football world with their extra terrresterial wins against European heavy weights like Inter Milan 5-0 min a non contested champions league finals last month , June , flew to America only to pummel another fellow European giant , Athletico ,4-0 in their opening group games , Bayern and Real Madrid too got their own share of the humbling from PSG . As if they are being triggered like a gunshot , their attacking machine is out of this world for now , except perhaps with their 1-0 loss to Botafogo of Brazil where they could not penetrate a well organized rear guard of the Brazilians in their second group games .

For now , I wonder how Chelsea defenders will handle these B- 2 missiles that are almost invincible when shooting missiles on their target , you can only see or hear it’s a goal from the center referee , their pukka play, precise passes as well as football prowess is out of this world .
Let’s look at the pros and cons of their attacking machinery in today’s encounter with Chelsea .
The Pariens have been busy this season breaking new grounds , so winning the new revamped FIFA Club World Cup trophy will be completing another historic campaign in style and finesse .

After their initial setback loss to Brazilians , Botafogo in the group games they have been engaged in a serial win over European giants , Bayern Munich , Athlentico Madrid and Real Madrid , the two capital teams in Spain went down with relative ease , 2-0,, 4-0 and another 4-0 to 15 times winners of the champions league whon the diismissed in the semi finals as if nothing was stake for them to win . Inte Miami also got their own share of the spolils of defeats from PSG , 4-0, in a horrible night for Lionel Messi and his over aged , Miami outfit .
With this type of outrageous score score lines against fellow European giants , the question now in today s finals is , can they break even too against a youthful and vibrsnt ball jugglers of Stamford Bridge.

On paper they can , but in the field of play it may not be so easy , apart Chelsea s loss 3-1 to Flamengo courtesy of a red card offence from striker , Nicolas Jackson when they played 10 men against an eagle eyed Flamengo for 90+ mins , that was the only loss the Blues have had in this campaign , PSG should not in any way take Chelsea for granted , or even win the match in their miind before entering the pitch .
PSG can boast of the deadliest attacking option in Europe right now , even all over the world , other things being equal,but their loss of two main defenders red carded durijg their match against Bayern will be a massive loss to them in today’s encounter .

With this type of common place supremacy , the Pariens also disfigured Inter Milan in an almost uncontested Champions League finals , 5-0. , after netting three times to claim the Coup De France Cup last season .
With their mecurial Manager who also won the Club World Cup with Barcelona , in 2015, the free scoring PSG with relentless work rate are right now being lavished with accolades en route to this final against unpredictable Chelsea who have also gone so far , in the campaign , living beyond pre tournament billing of a place in the fnals too
Only 90 minutes + separates then from a quadruple ..

Most Chelsea players may not be involved in today’s finals either due to injury problems or transfer issues to other clubs right now , llbut luckily Moises Caicedo is back to training ahead of today’s match after his ankle injury problems ,, but Noni Madueke is heavily engrossed with transfer issues with Arsenal and may not be available , same with , Darrio Essugo ,Beniot Badishielle and Romeo Lavia are till struggling with muscle pains .
New recruits , Jamie Bynoe Gittens and Brazilian , Estacao are not legible to.play .

In their absence , Maresca will now recall Levi Colwill and Liam Delap who were absent in the semi finals due to suspension , that means more competition for new boy Joan Pedro , definitely a favourite for a starting shirt after scoring a brace against Fluiminense in the semi finals .

The French side , PSG is almost sure of a complete squad apart from their duo of defenders who were red carded in their quarter finals match against Bayern Muinich , Willan Pacho and Lucas Fernandez are not legible for today’s match .
It’s likely going to be an unchanged X1 at Met Life stadium in New Jersey for the Parisiens as , Lucas Bareldo will again deputise Pacho alond side veteran skipper Marquihnos
Ousmane Dembele , Ballon Dor candidate , who has been limited to two substitutes appearance since this campaign but have showed his usual scoring ability will as well lead a familair attacking triumphvirate against Chelsea in this battle anongst two European giants .

Predictions .
Definitely , too hot to handle , i wonder how Chelsea rear men will effectively contain a mad house attack of PSG, .with their continued good football , postional play as well as precise passes , despising the American heat weather condrion in this campaign ..
Ordinary on paper anyway , PSG should dismiss the Blues with ease wihrebrur bag full of goals , unless there is an upset in today’s final .

We will also not rule out an extra time as well as sudden death penalty att the end of hostilities .
We need to see that , as it is also not ruled out ,provided , I repeat , provided , COMPLACENCY do not catch up with PSG, it has happened to so many teams in the past and they paid dearly for their deliberate over confidence .

Chelsea 1-3 ,2-2 Or 3-3 or 4-4

Happy Viewing and Happy Sunday .
See you in coming weeks as the new European football season kicks starts

Happy Viewing .
