We\u2019ve finally arrived at the final of the 2025 Club World Cup and while it\u2019s been a controversial tournament in more ways than one, the general feeling is that it\u2019s been a lot more exciting than what we\u2019ve come to expect from the smaller version of the CWC. Now, though, it\u2019s all about the final, which is set to take place on Sunday night at MetLife Stadium<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two teams involved will be Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. The Blues have been on an absolute tear through the Club World Cup to the point where many believe it could lead to them having even greater success in the Premier League next season – but of course, it\u2019s easy to get ahead of yourself, especially for a club that has been down in the dumps for quite some time.<\/p>\n\n\n

On the flip side, you\u2019ve got Paris Saint-Germain. They have been the best club in world football in 2025 and it isn\u2019t really even close. The European champions have been soaring, to the point where they seem to have made the right decision in prioritising the \u2018team\u2019 aspect above some of the superstar names that they once had on their books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So whether you\u2019re here to check out World Cup betting<\/a> or you just want to know a bit more about the match, we\u2019re here to break down what we think is going to happen when Chelsea collide with PSG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On paper, a lot of people will say that this is a PSG walkover – but this is Chelsea Football Club we\u2019re talking about here. They have made it their identity, in some ways, to overcome the odds in European and international competitions. They aren\u2019t exactly the ultimate underdogs of the beautiful game but in this instance, things appear to be pretty stacked against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In truth, for the Club World Cup, the best outcome here is a very simple one: an entertaining game of football. If they go out with a whimper as opposed to a bang, even more eyebrows will be raised on the road to the 2029 edition in four years\u2019 time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nobody is going to sit and pretend like the Blues are capable of outplaying PSG because the only way in which they\u2019re going to do that is if the French side really aren\u2019t at the races. Alas, complacency hasn\u2019t been one of their traits during this campaign, and we do believe they\u2019re probably going to dominate the ball from beginning to end.<\/p>\n\n\n

Still, Chelsea are resolute and they know how to be calm under pressure, which is why we believe they\u2019ll actually take the lead, likely through a moment of magic. From there, it\u2019ll be on PSG to break them down – and we do think they\u2019ll eventually grab the equaliser, but it\u2019ll be pretty late in the game when the nerves really start to show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there we expect it to go all the way to penalties and unfortunately for the Stamford Bridge boys, they\u2019ll miss the critical penalty that hands the trophy over to PSG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
