Comments and predictions for Chelsea vs PSG: The Blues lose bitterly

Latest Chelsea vs PSG squad information

Chelsea have received good news as Moises Caicedo has recovered from an ankle injury and returned to training with the team. However, coach Maresca could still be without some of his expensive players.

Dario Essugo and Romeo Lavia are both out with muscle problems, Benoit Badiashile is doubtful and Noni Madueke is almost certain to miss out as he is in transfer talks with Arsenal. New signings Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Estevao are ineligible.

Maresca will, however, have Levi Colwill and Liam Delap back – both suspended for the semi-finals – with the returning Delap competing for a place with Joao Pedro, who is likely to start again after an impressive double on his debut.

PSG can field their strongest squad. However, coach Luis Enrique will still be without defenders Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez due to suspension following red cards in the quarter-finals.

Lucas Beraldo is likely to continue to replace Pacho, partnering captain Marquinhos. The starting lineup at MetLife Stadium is likely to remain unchanged.

Ballon d'Or nominee Ousmane Dembele finally made his first start of the tournament against Real Madrid after recovering from injury. He is expected to continue leading PSG's familiar attack.

Latest Chelsea vs PSG football review

This summer has been going quite well for Chelsea, as the London club not only added another European title to their collection but also qualified for next season's Champions League before heading to the US.

Following a 2-0 win over Fluminense in the Club World Cup semi-finals, Chelsea have made it five wins from six to reach Sunday's final.

On Tuesday night, new signing Joao Pedro showed he could be the perfect piece of Enzo Maresca's attacking puzzle as he scored in either half against his boyhood club to help Chelsea progress.

Before that, Chelsea had defeated Palmeiras (quarter-finals) and Benfica (round of 16). Although the win over Benfica was interrupted by bad weather and had to be extended to extra time, their journey was generally quite smooth.

Despite only finishing second in Group D due to a 1-3 defeat to Flamengo – Fluminense's city rivals – Chelsea were still lucky to avoid many strong opponents in the remaining bracket.

Having won the Club World Cup in 2022 – shortly before the Clearlake Capital takeover – Chelsea can now cap a year of ups and downs with a memorable double.

Since a mid-season slump that nearly derailed Maresca's first campaign, the Conference League champions are now just one win away from glory.

However, their opponents are the strongest team in Europe at the moment – ​​Paris Saint-Germain – if they want to win the second Club World Cup in history.

Meanwhile, PSG have made new marks this year and if they win the FIFA revamped tournament, they will end a historic season in perfect fashion.

After stumbling against Botafogo in the group stage, PSG won all the way to the final, culminating in two consecutive victories against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

After easily overcoming Inter Miami in the first knockout round, coach Luis Enrique's team defeated Bayern 2-0, then continued to destroy the 15-time European champions - Real Madrid - on Wednesday.

Following a run of four consecutive wins without conceding a goal, PSG capitalized on Real's mistakes to take an early 2-0 lead, before Fabian Ruiz scored his second, sealing the game in the first half.

Goncalo Ramos – coming off the bench – even sealed the score in the final minutes, helping PSG repeat their opening-day result against Atletico Madrid.

This dominant form is becoming familiar to the French capital team – who just beat Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final, not long after scoring three goals to win the Coupe de France.

Under the guidance of the inspirational coach – who won the Club World Cup with Barcelona in 2015 – PSG are receiving deserved praise for their goal-scoring and tireless squad.

Still, they have 90 minutes – or maybe more – to complete a miraculous quadruple.
