'Also a great team!' - Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez insists Blues can beat PSG in Club World Cup final despite Champions League winners' dominant displays

The 2024-25 season undoubtedly belongs to Luis Enrique's PSG, who won their record 13th Ligue 1 title and lifted their maiden Champions Trophy this summer. They have now set their eyes on the Club World Cup after scoring eight goals against Inter Miami and Real Madrid in the quarter-final and semi-final, respectively.

PSG will start Sunday's final in New Jersey as overwhelming favourites; however, World Cup-winning Argentine midfielder Fernandez firmly believes that the Blues can stun the Champions League winners and clinch their second trophy of the season.

Speaking to reporters, the 24-year-old said: "The key, I think, is that in finals you play very focused. We know that we can’t give them space and we know that we can't give them chances, because they have very good players. Winning this Club World Cup would be very important for the club. Obviously, Chelsea have won it in the past, but a second wouldn’t be a bad thing!

"So we’ve been preparing for the match in the best possible way. We know we are facing a great team, but we are confident in ourselves and are also a great team. So we have prepared well and now we will go out onto the pitch and give our best."

Enzo Fernandez's side will be taking a break following the conclusion of the Club World Cup and will be back in action next month. They are scheduled to play two pre-season friendlies against Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan at home on August 8 and 10, respectively, before they kick off a brand new season of the Premier League.
