Chelsea or Paris Saint-Germain will he bring the trophy back?

On Sunday, the World Cup final of FIFA takes place at the New Jersey Metlife Stadium while the European Champions Régnants Paris Saint-Germain face a Chelsea Resurgent, these two young teams presenting the future of the game.

The two will not only continue the Club World Cup trophy and the glory of being named the best club on the planet, but also the additional 10 million dollars that the winner will receive to win his minimum income from this tournament just under 100 million dollars.

Even for these superwanch teams, each small piece helps.

Here are some key scenarios on which to focus on the final, because PSG of Luis Enrique is the clear favorite on Chelsea by Enzo Maresca.

The captivating midfielder is waiting

PSG has the best midfielder in the world. Fabian Ruiz, João Neves and Vitinha are consistent, press a pack and, when they win, are very good to keep the ball and keep the pressure. Chelsea a Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, a fight of a follower to break the rhythm and the flow of field environments of an opposition – but there are only two against the swirling dervish of PSG of a midfield.

The trio of midfielder of PSG makes him check and triggers everything else. However, if he did not recognize the ball quickly enough, the three attackers of Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Désure Doue cannot remain high and be a constant threat to the defense of Chelsea, and they become more isolated despite their incredible work rate. Caicedo de Chelsea has been in sensational form for some time and will savor its role as the main disruptor. PSG will do its best to try to suffocate Fernandez. It will be intriguing to see if Maresca begins with another more defensive midfielder to correspond to the trio of PSG, or sticks to his fluid system 4-2-3-1 and asks Cole Palmer to surpass himself with his role n ° 10 to occupy one of the fields of field of PSG and impact on his incredible rhythm.

The addition of additional intrigue to this area of the field is the fact that PSG and Chelsea love to reverse their lateral rear, with Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes often appearing in the midfield and central areas, and Marc Cucurella and Malo Gusto or Reece de Chelsea doing the same thing. This makes a crucial area of the land even more blocked and unpredictable. Bring the chaos.

Will Ousmane Dembele or João Pedro be the hero who knows goals?

The two teams received a big boost during this tournament: the arrival of attackers who can be clinical and offer a crucial advantage. Ousmane Dembele returned from an injury during direct elimination towers and made a huge difference. His manager calls on him to win the Ballon d’Or (the price was awarded to the best player on the planet) as Dembele goals, aid, movement and pressing everything in this PSG side. But Chelsea received his own massive confidence with the signature of João Pedro, who immediately had a huge impact.

The Brazilian international came out of the bench during his beginnings and played a big role by beating Palmeiras in the quarterfinals. Then, during his first departure, he marked two beauties against his fleet of childhood club to send Chelsea to this final. João Pedro had recently been on the beach to relax, enjoying his off -season break. However, only a few days after having signed with Chelsea, he seems ready to direct his attack in the FIFA World Cup final.

PSG and Chelsea both get goals from all over their attack lines, but having Dembele Back and João Pedro on board now gives them a dynamic and clinical spearhead of their attack. Of course, Kvaratskhelia and Palmer are mercurial talents for PSG and Chelsea, respectively, and can win any game in a fraction of a second with a majestic race, a dazzling finish or a smart film. But Ousmane, Dembele and João Pedro provide driving races and the maintenance game to knit everything together, and they have this mercilessness crucial in front of the goal.

Chelsea can have the deeper team

After an exhausting race of six games to go to the final of the club World Cup after an even more exhausting season of 10 months 2024-25 which saw the two teams play more than 60 games, this final will probably be decided by which team uses its bench and its team better. And Chelsea has the deeper team with more options, especially in attack.

The starting range of PSG is very adjusted, and out of the bench, it generally brings Bradley Barcola to have an impact. After that, he has young talented fields and striker Goncalo Ramos to play roles of cameo. Chelsea has an entire attack unit full of international stars which he can lead to changing things and trying to turn the game in his favor. Liam Delap, Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke would start for many big clubs, but will probably be available on the bench in the second half. Captain Reece James could also start on the bench, but maybe crucial as a hybrid / rear midfielder because he and Andrey Santos could come to give an additional boost to Chelsea when he needs it most. Chelsea will aim to keep the tight and prevent PSG from dominating the tempo of the game, then watching his bench to see who can provide this little additional spark which could crown the world champion.
