Match Preview
The FIFA Club World Cup final between Chelsea and PSG is due to be played at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Both of these teams are fierce attacking sides, so this fixture promises to be a cracker. Paris St Germain are favourites on paper, but Chelsea are not known to respect favourites. The Blues have won 13 of their last 15 matches in all competitions, only loosing twice when with 10 men. They are in their second cup competition final since Enzo Maresca took charge. Paris St Germain on the other hand have dismantled European heavy weights in this competition, including Bayern Munich with just 9 men! They have won their last five knockout round matches in all competitions by a combined score of 18-0. Let’s hope this is not a repeat of the Champions League final between PSG and Inter.
