Chelsea vs PSG Club World Cup Final 2025 is shaping up to be a heavyweight clash — and Blues captain Reece James believes his side are ready to defy expectations.
Paris Saint-Germain come into the final as Champions League winners and heavy favourites, especially after dismantling Real Madrid 4-0 in the semi-finals. But Chelsea aren’t fazed — in fact, they’re quietly confident.
“We are an amazing team, and I think we’ll surprise a lot of people,” said Reece James. — Reece James
Blues in Red-Hot Form Under Maresca
Despite PSG’s dominance, Chelsea’s own form under Enzo Maresca has been nothing short of outstanding.
- ✅ 13 wins in the last 15 matches
- 🧱 7 clean sheets
- 🏆 Conference League champions
- 🎯 Qualified for the Champions League
Their only two losses came in narrow games — away to Newcastle and against Flamengo while playing with 10 men.
Mentality Is Key, Says James
James brushed off the underdog narrative — and the stats.
“Stats, data, favourites… it doesn’t mean much. It’s about two great young sides going toe-to-toe on the biggest stage.” — Reece James
Asked how the team will approach the game, he added:
“We prepare every game like we want to win. Whether it’s a final or not, our mindset is the same.”
Chelsea’s Attack Has Been Relentless
Statistically, Chelsea are outperforming most teams in the Club World Cup:
| Stat | Chelsea (2025) |
|---|---|
| Shots Created | 89 (Most in Tournament) |
| Goals Scored | 14 (2nd Highest) |
| Clean Sheets | 7 |
| Matches Unbeaten | 13 of Last 15 |
Only PSG, Bayern, and Man City have scored more (16). But Chelsea’s ability to create chances has set them apart, with James himself playing a vital role in their fluid attacking style.
Analyst Verdict
PSG may be the bookmakers’ pick, but Chelsea under Maresca have developed a steel and identity that makes them dangerous. Reece James’ leadership and Chelsea’s form suggest this final could go right down to the wire.
Don’t be surprised if the Blues pull off something special.
