Chelsea Review
Chelsea, coached by Enzo Maresca, qualified via their 2021 UEFA Champions League title and 2025 UEFA Conference League win. Their 4-2-3-1 formation emphasizes controlled possession (4.5% long passes, second-lowest in the tournament) and rapid counterattacks (6 goals from fast breaks, highest in the competition). João Pedro’s brace in a 2-0 semi-final win over Fluminense, his boyhood club, highlighted their attacking depth, with 14 goals from 10 different players. Chelsea’s tournament run includes a 4-1 extra-time win over Benfica (Round of 16) and a 2-1 victory against Palmeiras (quarter-finals), despite a group stage loss to Flamengo. They’ve attempted 100 shots, more than any team, with Cole Palmer creating three chances at 100% passing accuracy in the semi-final. Moisés Caicedo is doubtful (ankle), but Reece James, Liam Delap, and Levi Colwill are available. Recent form: WWWDW.
PSG Review
PSG, the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League winners, have been unstoppable, winning 48 matches this season, a club record. Coached by Luis Enrique, their 4-3-3 (shifting to 3-4-3) features Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Désiré Doué up top, with Fabián Ruiz (5 goals in tournament) and Vitinha controlling midfield. PSG topped Group B, beating Atlético Madrid (4-0) and Seattle Sounders (2-0), despite a 1-0 loss to Botafogo. Their knockout run includes a 4-0 thrashing of Inter Miami, a 2-0 win over Bayern Munich (despite two red cards), and a 4-0 semi-final demolition of Real Madrid, with Ruiz scoring twice. PSG have conceded just once (to Botafogo), with a 18-0 aggregate in their last five knockout matches across all competitions. Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernández are suspended, but Dembélé is fit. Recent form: WWWWL.
Head to Head
Chelsea and PSG have met eight times since 2004, with PSG leading 3W-2W-3D. Their last encounters were in the 2014-16 UEFA Champions League knockout stages:
2016 (Round of 16): PSG 4-2 aggregate (2-1, 2-1).
2015 (Round of 16): PSG 3-3 aggregate, advanced on away goals.
2014 (Quarter-finals): Chelsea 3-3 aggregate, PSG advanced on away goals. Recent H2H games average 2.5 goals, with 50% over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 3/4. Chelsea’s last win was a 3-0 in Paris (2004 group stage).
Prediction: Chelsea 1-2 PSG.
PSG’s relentless form (18-0 knockout aggregate), attacking trio (Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia, Doué), and midfield dominance (Ruiz, Vitinha) make them favorites against Chelsea’s methodical possession and counterattacking threat (João Pedro, Pedro Neto). Chelsea’s goalkeeper Robert Sanchez needs a standout performance to contain PSG’s attack, which overwhelmed Real Madrid (4-0). Dembélé or Ruiz to score, João Pedro a threat for Chelsea.
