The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 semifinal battle between Chelsea and PSG is scheduled at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, USA on Sunday, July 13.

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final has arrived, featuring a blockbuster showdown between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, set to begin tonight, July 13, at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey, USA. PSG are eyeing a historic quintuple, while Chelsea are eager to claim their second Club World Cup title.

PSG have dominated this competition, dismantling their opponents with seven victories in eight matches, keeping clean sheets throughout the knockouts. They thrashed Real Madrid 4-0 in the semifinals, courtesy of a Fabian Ruiz double, a Dembele screamer, and Ramos’ sharp strike. Despite a shocking 1-0 loss to Botafogo in the group stage, PSG rebounded, showing resilience with a 2-0 win over Bayern Munich with just nine men in the quarterfinals.

Chelsea, however, aren't just here for the experience. Enzo Maresca’s men are flying high, winning 13 of their past 15 games, including a 2-0 semifinal triumph against Fluminense.

Chelsea vs PSG: Club World Cup 2025 Injury Updates and Team News

Chelsea

The Blues depend on solid defense and swift counters, with Palmer and Nkunku capable of unlocking defenses. Liam Delap and Levi Colwill return after serving suspensions. Moises Caicedo remains a doubt after hurting his ankle in the semifinal, and Romeo Lavia is ruled out. Badiashile won’t feature, and Reece James may only be fit for a short cameo.

PSG

Luis Enrique’s side looks sharp, fluidly shifting between explosive breaks and patient buildup. Their attack, featuring Dembele, Kvaratskhelia, and young talent Desire Doue, is in sizzling form. At the back, Beraldo partners Marquinhos effectively, while Hakimi and Mendes wreak havoc down the wings. But they will miss defenders Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez, both suspended following red cards against Bayern. Nordi Mukiele is also unavailable due to injury.

Chelsea vs PSG Prediction: Who Will Win the Club World Cup 2025 Final?

PSG’s blistering form and attacking firepower, led by Dembele and Kvaratskhelia, combined with their superior expected goals stats, give them a narrow advantage, even with key defenders out. Dembele’s pace and Kvaratskhelia’s skill are poised to trouble Chelsea’s weakened defense, especially without Badiashile and with Caicedo uncertain. PSG’s midfield trio—Neves, Vitinha, and Fabian Ruiz—offers balance and flair, capable of stifling Chelsea’s Palmer and Enzo.
Chelsea’s counter-led offense, driven by Palmer or Nkunku, might sneak in a goal, but PSG’s defense has been nearly impenetrable in the knockouts. If Chelsea pounce on set-pieces or a rare PSG lapse, they have a chance. Still, PSG’s rhythm, squad depth, and big-game pedigree make them the likelier champions.
