MetLife Stadium is set to host history as Paris Saint-Germain faces Chelsea in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ final on July 14 (KST). For PSG, this is more than just a shot at a trophy — it’s the chance to complete an unprecedented quadruple: Ligue 1, Coupe de France, Champions League, and now potentially the Club World Cup.
PSG’s road to the final has been nothing short of dominant. Under Luis Enrique, the Parisians dismantled top-tier opponents: 4-0 over Atletico Madrid, 4-0 over Inter Miami, 2-0 against Bayern Munich, and a crushing 4-0 victory over Real Madrid in the semifinals. Speaking ahead of the final, Enrique remarked:
“This season has been special, and so is this team. We are just one step away from making history.”
Chelsea, however, is determined to spoil PSG’s party. After winning the UEFA Conference League and finishing top 4 in the Premier League, the Blues are now the last hope for Europe to stop the French juggernaut. Their journey included hard-fought wins over Benfica (extra time), Palmeiras, and Fluminense.
Captain Reece James made Chelsea’s intent clear:
“Everyone sees PSG as the favorites, but Chelsea isn’t here to be a supporting act. In football, anything can happen in one match.”
Manager Enzo Maresca faces the tough task of neutralizing PSG’s explosive midfield and rapid counterattacks. Though the two sides have shared intense battles in past Champions League campaigns, this final presents a different kind of pressure — one that crowns the world’s best club.
If the match is tied after 90 minutes, extra time and a potential penalty shootout will decide the champion.
Regardless of the result, both clubs will walk away with at least $100 million in prize money, underscoring the magnitude of this high-stakes clash. All eyes now turn to MetLife, where football history hangs in the balance.
