Cole Palmer insists Chelsea are 'confident' ahead of PSG showdown in Club World Cup final despite coming up against 'probably the best team in the world'

Palmer was speaking with DAZN ahead of Sunday's final. The Chelsea star shared that he attended PSG's 4-0 semi-final win against Real Madrid, and that the Champions League winners are "probably the best team in the world." However, he also said he and his teammates are "confident" and that they "have a plan".

Les Parisiens have looked every bit the favourites through the revamped tournament, beating Inter Miami, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid en route to the final, with an aggregate score of 10-0 over those three ties. Chelsea have had a slightly easier path to the showpiece event, beating Benfica, Palmeiras and Fluminense.

Palmer said: "Obviously, we're confident. We know it's going to be a tough game, but it's a final.

"We're excited. Everyone's ready. You know, you want to play against the best team, and they probably are the best team in the world, but we're excited and we're ready.

"They do everything well, we've watched the games, but we've got a plan and we're going to try and do it."

As Chelsea's most dependable goalscorer, playmaker and all-round talisman, Palmer will need to be at his very best if The Blues are to cause an upset in New Jersey.
