July 13, 2025

Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain will meet in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 final in a historic clash that represents the first major international final between teams from England and France. Both teams come into the match in excellent form with ambitions to claim the prestigious trophy.

Head-to-Head Record and History

Chelsea and PSG last met in the Round of 16 of the 2015-16 Champions League, where the French team advanced with an aggregate score of 4-2 after wins in both legs. Prior to this encounter, the Blues had only one defeat from six meetings (2 wins, 3 draws).

This final will be PSG's eighth match against English opposition in 2025 alone, having recorded five wins and two losses against English teams in the Champions League. PSG becomes the third team outside the UK to play eight matches against English teams in a single calendar year.

Tournament Form

Chelsea after losing 3-1 to Flamengo in their second tournament match, won the following four matches with an aggregate score of 11-2. The Blues kept clean sheets in three of their six tournament matches, with 60% of goals conceded (3 of 5) coming in the single match against Flamengo.

Paris Saint-Germain won five of their six tournament matches, with the only exception being a 1-0 defeat to Botafogo - the only match where they failed to score and also conceded a goal. PSG scored 16 goals in the tournament, which is a record for a single Club World Cup campaign.

Key Tournament Statistics

Attacking Power

  • PSG scored 16 goals in the tournament (record tied with Manchester City)
  • Chelsea scored 14 goals - the most by any English team in tournament history except City from this year's edition
  • PSG won their last four matches without conceding, scoring at least two goals in each

Defensive Stability

  • Chelsea have not conceded a first-half goal in the entire tournament
  • The Blues allowed only 0.85 expected goals in first halves, the lowest of all teams

Final Stars

Chelsea

Enzo Fernández has the most assists in the tournament (3) and along with Morgan Rogers and Anthony Elanga, the most assists of any Premier League player in 2025 (9).

João Pedro scored seven goals in his last nine starts for Brighton and Chelsea, including two goals in his first start for the Blues in the semi-final against Fluminense.

Cole Palmer created nine chances from open play in the tournament - only two players have created more.

Paris Saint-Germain

Ousmane Dembélé scored a goal and added an assist in the semi-final against Real Madrid. In 2025, he has contributed to 30 goals (22 goals, 8 assists) in 23 starts.

Fabián Ruiz is PSG's top scorer in the tournament with three goals from six shots.

Tactical Perspective

Chelsea relies on collective strength - their last 10 goals (excluding own goals) were scored by nine different players. Only João Pedro scored more than one goal.

PSG excels in first halves, scoring 10 goals in tournament first halves, including three against Real Madrid in the semi-final. Only Bayern Munich scored more (11).

Path to the Final

Chelsea has a winning streak of five international finals since 2013, including this year's 4-1 triumph over Real Betis in the Conference League final. Their last final defeat came in 2012 against Corinthians (0-1).

PSG won their last five playoff matches with an aggregate score of 18-0, including a 10-0 score in the Club World Cup knockout rounds.

DE BRUYNE'S FAREWELL TO ETIHAD FACES CHERRIES' ROAD INVINCIBILITY

Image
  May 20, 2025   Manchester City - AFC Bournemouth   Etihad Stadium, Manchester On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, Manchester City will face AFC Bournemouth in the 37th round of the Premier League. The match offers a likely farewell of the home star Kevin De Bruyne to Etihad Stadium against a team with excellent away form. Manchester City have won all seven of their Premier League home games against Bournemouth – only Arsenal (10 vs Stoke) and Manchester United (8 vs Wigan) have a better 100% home win rate against an opponent in the competition. The Citizens thus represent an insurmountable obstacle for the Cherries at their own ground. Bournemouth won the reverse fixture against Man City 2-1 in November, having been winless in their first 20 league meetings with the Citizens beforehand (D2 L18). The South England side thus achieved a historic success this season. Manchester City have won their final home league game in 10 of the last 11 seasons (D1), including each of the la...

Marks Could Be the Next Irving: NFL Draft 2025 Late-Round Gems

Image
  Bucky Irving proved last year that the fourth round can hide future stars. His 1,122 rushing yards and eight touchdowns made him the most productive rookie runner in the NFL. Now the search continues - which of this year's late picks will repeat similar success? The pattern is clear. Irving followed the path of Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City's seventh-round gem from 2022. Both had one thing in common - they weren't college superstars with astronomical numbers, but they proved efficiency and ability to maximize opportunities. Among this year's candidates, Marks from USC stands out most, selected by Houston in the fourth round. His transformation is remarkable - four years at Mississippi State never exceeded 600 yards per season, but a single season at USC brought 1,133 yards with impressive 6.8 yards per carry. Marks has an ideal situation for immediate impact. Joe Mixon ahead of him has injury history and Houston under new coordinator Nick Caley is looking for fresh b...
