Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea take on Luis Enrique’s all-conquering PSG in the Club World Cup final. Here’s how the two sides have fared in the past

It could easily have been a Champions League final, but instead it’s the last act of the FIFA Club World Cup. Paris Saint-Germain face Chelsea on Sunday at 21:00 CET in what promises to be a thrilling showdown. Having already lifted Ligue 1, the Champions League, the Coupe de France and the French Super Cup, PSG are now chasing a clean sweep of titles. For Luis Enrique's side, the global crown would be the fifth trophy in an unforgettable season.

On the other side, Chelsea arrive at the final with pride and momentum. After finishing fourth in the Premier League and clinching the UEFA Conference League title, the Blues now have the chance to end their season with a flourish on the world stage.

In terms of head-to-head history, PSG have the edge: three wins to Chelsea’s two, with three draws. Their very first meeting came in the 2004/05 Champions League group stage — a 3–0 victory for the Blues, featuring a goal from John Terry and a brace from Didier Drogba. Their most recent encounter was in the round of 16 of the 2015/16 Champions League, where PSG, then managed by Laurent Blanc, knocked out the London club.
