PSG will face Chelsea this Sunday in the final of the FIFA Club World Cup at the MetLife Stadium. This marks a glorious opportunity for the French squad, recently crowned Champions League victors after a decisive 5-0 victory against Inter Milan. Under the adept guidance of Luis Enrique, PSG has consistently outperformed its rivals, eliminating both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid with remarkable scores.
In contrast, Chelsea has had a simpler journey to the finals, overcoming Benfica, Palmeiras, and Fluminense in their knockout rounds. They too seek glory on the international stage, having recently secured the UEFA Conference League trophy with a 4-1 triumph over Real Betis.
