Chelsea vs PSG - Club World Cup Final: Live score, team news and updates as Blues take on Champions League winners in FIFA showpiece

Are you ready to be entertained?

Please tell me you get that reference. If you don't, then I'm afraid that our relationship has been broken irreparably.

I'm a massive Robbie Williams fan, and tonight we will see him sing before kick-off.

Sadly, though, he won't be belting out a classic like 'Angels' but rather the FIFA anthem.

Shame.

When don't they?

PSG fans are known for being some of the best about, and they were never going to miss this for the world.

They are certainly making themselves heard behind that goal; the racket they are making is quite something.

It's fair to say, they are making the atmosphere.

Enzo Maresca, Chelsea manager, speaking to DAZN:

On Cole Palmer:

Manchester City beaten. Liverpool beaten. Aston Villa beaten. Arsenal beaten. Chelsea? Well, we will have to wait and see.

Tonight will be PSG's eighth match against English opposition in 2025 alone, having recorded five wins and two losses against English sides in the UEFA Champions League this year.

PSG the third team outside the UK to play eight matches against English teams in a single calendar year, joining Italian side Reggiana in 1978 and German team Bayer 04 Leverkusen in 2002.

They have swept through the best this country has had to offer already this year, on the way to Champions League glory. The question is, though, can they do it again?

My bet is yes... but I am also a jinx.

Erm... what is this?

This isn't the Oscars or the Met Gala, so why is there a red carpet? This is a final, a football match, not an awards show or film premiere.

Game is GONE.

Giorgi Chiellini and Carlo Ancelotti must be very confused at what is going on as they get papped on the carpet

Michael Buffer seems a little more at home, though. Suave is the word that comes to my mind.

Oh my, what a surprise... not.

It would have been a shock if Luis Enrique did make any changes to the side that wiped the floor with Real Madrid 4-0.

This is their super team, the one that secured the Champions League trophy and the won that is 90 minutes, or maybe slightly more, from completing a quadruple.

PSG starting XI: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Nuno Mendes; Vitinha, Neves, Ruiz; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia.

Substitutes: Sofonov, Tenas, Kimbepmbe, Kamara, Zaire-Emery, Lee, Gabriel Moscardo, Mayulu, Mbaye, Barcola, Goncalo Ramos.

Well, I think we know who the favourites are tonight, right?

If there are any of you out there who think Chelsea are in any way, shape, or form the team to beat on Sunday, then I want what you are drinking.

Must be strong!

After the way they ripped apart Real Madrid on Wednesday night, it's hard to see any way that Enzo Maresca's side can do damage to PSG at the MetLife.

Maybe I am underplaying just how good Chelsea are, but honestly, Les Parisiens are a juggernaut that just don't look like they can be stopped.

The best in the world, and some. Can they show it again tonight?

Well, where to start with this?

Luis Enrique's side are by far and away the best team in the world. They made a mockery of a Real Madrid team filled with galacticos in the semi-final to book their place back at the MetLife.

It was mental, to say the least.

As they always do, the Champions League winners came out all guns blazing, and both Fabian Ruiz and Ousmane Dembele found the back of the net after two terrible Real Madrid mistakes within the first 10 minutes.

By 24 minutes, they had three. Fabian Ruiz rounded off one of the best counter-attacking moves I have ever witnessed.

PSG coasted for most of the second half, but they still managed to compound Madrid's embarrassment with a fourth from Goncalo Ramos late on.

Next up: Chelsea. When? Tonight. Be there or be square.

Ohhh, interesting.

I can't lie, I would not have predicted Enzo Maresca to start Reece James in Chelsea's midfield, did you? Well, he is.

Meanwhile, Joao Pedro keeps his spot up top after what was a phenomenal debut against Fluminense.

Can this team defy the odds?

Oh, hello there, Achraf.

Both PSG and Chelsea have arrived at the MetLife Stadium, so you know what that means.

Yep, the team news is already out.

I could tell you it now, but where is the fun in that, eh? You just have to wait a few more minutes.

I'm such a tease, I know. You all love me really.

First of all... what a photo.

I mean, whichever creative genius conjured up this idea deserves a medal; it's a thing of beauty.

The only thing that's missing is Cole Palmer scranning a chip butty. If you know what the original picture looks like, you will know why I just wrote that.

Anyway, butties aside, let's talk about PSG and Chelsea.

Did I think this would be the final? No chance. Is it a final that I am excited about? Absolutely.

Any match involving PSG is entertaining; they are such a fun team to watch play football, and I always enjoy my time covering them.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have the chance to shock the footballing world.

Not many out there expected them to get here, and not many think they will leave New Jersey with the trophy.

Can they prove the haters wrong? You just never know.

OK, now we are talking.

After four weeks, 62 games, late drama, batterings, and some snooze-fests, it's time for the Club World Cup final. Today, we will learn about the inaugural winner of the revamped tournament.

It's fair to say that this competition has not been the most loved around the world, far from it. Some of the games have been pants, to say the least, and US crowds have not taken to it.

That being said, today's final is a tasty prospect.

We have the Champions League winners PSG taking on Chelsea, a club that just knows how to win silverware on the world stage. Yep, it's an exciting match-up at the MetLife, I know.

Let's get this show on the road.
