    Vitinha leaves a little something for Enzo Fernandez, sending the Argentine tumbling in a fierce battle for the ball.
  • 53'
    Chelsea are beginning to slow once the ball crosses the halfway line. They'll need to tighten up quickly to halt PSG's growing threat.
  • 51'
    The Blues are doing their best to keep PSG at bay, but it's no easy task against these giants.
  • 48'
    PSG know they've got a mountain to climb, but they're not throwing in the towel just yet.
  • 46'
    The second half gets underway with no changes for either side. The show goes on!
  • 45+6'
    HT (3-0): Chelsea dominated the first half with aggressive pressing and clinical finishing, taking a comfortable 3-0 lead. PSG struggled to find any rhythm or space, leaving them with plenty to do in the second half. We'll see what happens next!
  • 45+3'
    We’re already three minutes into the added time. PSG certainly weren't expecting Chelsea's relentless attacks and will have plenty to adjust at half-time if they want to salvage anything from their strong run at the Club World Cup.
  • 45'
    Six minutes added!

    GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL FOR CHELSEA! COLD PALMEEEEEEEEEEER! How chilly all of a sudden! Palmer doubles Chelsea's lead after exploiting a gap in the PSG defence to net his side's second.

    We're pausing for a cooling break to let the players refresh and receive fresh instructions from the coaches.

    The Blues are well and truly in the game now, even more so after taking the lead.

  • 22'
    GOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL FOR CHELSEA! Palmer capitalises on a rebound from the PSG defence following a missed opportunity by Malo Gusto and fires in a superb strike from the edge of the box to open the scoring.
  • 21'
    The French are looking to break quickly from the back, adding real urgency to their attacks. This is turning into a proper contest! Who's your money on?
  • 18'
    What a save from Sanchez! Doue lets fly from inside the box with a venomous strike, but the Spanish keeper is equal to it — a superb bit of goalkeeping.
  • 17'
    PSG are starting to find ways to catch Chelsea out with their high press. It's turning into a fascinating contest, with both sides battling to break the deadlock.
  • 15'
    Chalobah is stepping out of position with real aggression, and the French are constantly probing, trying to exploit any space they can find.
  • 13'
    Although possession is fairly even at the moment, Joao Pedro's presence is proving to be a real asset for Chelsea up front — adding aggression and creating some quality chances.
  • 10'
    Chelsea's defence is closing every gap, leaving PSG with no room to work in the final third. Whatever Maresca's given these lads today, it's certainly doing the trick!
  • 8'
    Palmer's excellent strike whistles just wide of the far post after a superb pass from Neto. What a chance for Chelsea — they're playing some fantastic football!
  • 7'
    Luis Enrique isn't too pleased with Chelsea's territorial dominance in these early stages...
  • 5'
    Chelsea's high press is causing a bit of confusion for PSG, but they're beginning to get a foothold in the game. A brilliant start from the English side — really threatening.
  • 3'
    The French are enjoying more possession at the moment, but the Blues have had a couple of decent chances from close range in these opening minutes.
  • 1'
    Chelsea get us going in blue from left to right, while PSG are in white!

  • PRVW
    Chelsea and PSG are assured to go home with over $100 million in prize money, with the definitive amount to become clear after the final - that money will be particularly welcome for Chelsea after they were recently fined by UEFA for breaching financial rules.
  • PRVW
    Whatever happens in the final, the tournament has already been a huge success for the participants from a financial viewpoint.
  • PRVW
    But concerns over the heat of an American summer have plagued the tournament, with Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez saying Friday that playing in the middle of the afternoon was "very dangerous" - Sunday's game will kick off at 3:00 pm local time (19:00 GMT).
  • PRVW
    PSG's record against English opposition in 2025 shows the size of task facing Chelsea - the French club faced four Premier League teams in the Champions League and beat them all, from Manchester City and Liverpool, to Aston Villa and then Arsenal.
  • PRVW
    While PSG lost to Botafogo during the group stage, Chelsea were also beaten by Brazilian opposition in Flamengo. However, they have gone on to defeat Benfica as well as two other Brazilian teams, Palmeiras and Fluminense, to reach the final.
  • PRVW
    Chelsea have plenty of reason to believe too, with Sunday's game finally wrapping up a campaign in which they won the UEFA Conference League and also finished fourth in the Premier League to qualify for the Champions League.
  • PRVW
    PSG are therefore overwhelming favourites for the game which will be played at the 82,500-capacity MetLife Stadium in New Jersey - with the Manhattan skyline as a backdrop - and which is set to be attended by Donald Trump.
  • PRVW
    The Parisians now stand on the verge of an extraordinary achievement, as they look to complete a clean sweep of trophies in this marathon 2024/25 season and add the world title to their French and European crowns.
  • PRVW
    They appeared to hit new heights as they tore apart Kylian Mbappe's Real Madrid in the last four, when their 4-0 winning margin could have been far greater.
  • PRVW
    Luis Enrique's side put four goals past Atletico Madrid in the group stage, four more past Lionel Messi's Inter Miami in the last 16, and then proved too strong for Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals.
  • PRVW
    PSG travelled to the United States fresh from becoming European champions with a stunning 5-0 demolition of Inter Milan in Munich in late May, and they have lived up to their favourites tag at the Club World Cup.
  • PRVW
    Chelsea must somehow try to stop an irresistible Paris Saint-Germain side from adding the Club World Cup trophy to their UEFA Champions League title as the final of the first edition of FIFA's expanded competition takes place on Sunday.
