Chelsea's star midfielder Enzo Fernandez believes the Blues can win the Club World Cup by beating Paris Saint-Germain in the final. The Blues will start as underdogs against a PSG side who have won every trophy on offer in the 2024-25 campaign and have displayed fiery form in the Club World Cup thus far. Yet, the Argentine feels that they can upset the European champions.
WHAT HAPPENED?
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.
WHAT ENZO FERNANDEZ SAID
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."
