PSG vs Chelsea lineups, prediction, odds, betting tips, and head-to-head for FIFA Club World Cup Final 2025

PSG vs Chelsea: Paris Saint-Germain take on Chelsea in the final of the expanded 32-team FIFA Club World Cup 2025 on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey. The French champions are looking to cap off their best-ever season with a fourth trophy, while Chelsea aim to repeat past heroics and claim a second world title.

European champions PSG come in as firm favourites following their 4–0 demolition of Real Madrid in the semifinals. Chelsea, meanwhile, booked their spot with a controlled 2–0 win over Fluminense.

PSG vs Chelsea Fifa Club World Cup Final 2025: PSG look to complete the quadruple

Fresh off their historic first UEFA Champions League title, PSG now have a shot at world dominance. Under Luis Enrique, the Parisians have been ruthless all tournament—thrashing Inter Miami, Bayern Munich, and now Real Madrid without conceding a goal in the knockout rounds.

Their semifinal performance was particularly commanding. Fabian Ruiz netted twice, while Ousmane Dembélé and Gonçalo Ramos added to the tally. With top scorer Kylian Mbappé now gone, Enrique’s rebuilt attack continues to thrive, thanks in part to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Warren Zaïre-Emery’s emergence.

Chelsea vs PSG: Paris Saint-Germain have never won the Club World Cup

PSG stand on the brink of their first Club World Cup title, a missing piece in an already glittering campaign that saw them win both the Champions League and a domestic double. Victory over Chelsea would cement their transformation from European contenders to global champions.

Chelsea’s surprise run nears a grand finale

Enzo Maresca’s young Chelsea side weren’t expected to go this far. But they’ve grown into the competition and knocked out Palmeiras and Fluminense to reach their second Club World Cup final in three years.

João Pedro, a standout performer, scored both goals against Fluminense. Reece James returned from injury off the bench, while Christopher Nkunku and Cole Palmer are beginning to gel in attack. However, injuries may complicate Maresca’s plans—Moisés Caicedo is a doubt with an ankle issue, and Roméo Lavia remains sidelined.

Regardless of Sunday’s result, Chelsea’s tournament will be seen as a major step forward in their rebuild.
