The FIFA Club World Cup is now entering its final week of action as the two semifinals will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, while the final will occur at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. Chelsea secured a 2-1 victory against Palmeiras in the quarters, while Fluminense eliminated Saudi team Al-Hilal. On the other side of the bracket, PSG is set to face Real Madrid in what is considered one of the season’s most anticipated matches. Below, we rank all potential final matchups:
4. Fluminense vs. PSG
Fluminense has been a surprise contender, having knocked out both Inter and Al-Hilal. PSG is the favorite to win, especially after their recent UEFA Champions League triumph.
3. Fluminense vs. Real Madrid
If Fluminense wins against Chelsea, they may meet Real Madrid, which holds a strong connection with Brazil, especially with former manager Carlo Ancelotti at the helm of the national team.
2. Chelsea vs. Real Madrid
If Chelsea overcomes Fluminense, they will meet Real Madrid. Chelsea, managed by Enzo Maresca, is one of the strongest candidates to win the tournament.
1. Chelsea vs. PSG
This matchup would be a highlight, featuring two teams that have met eight times historically, with the last encounter in the 2015-16 season where PSG advanced. Both teams have elite players, making it a compelling final.
