This Sunday, Paris Saint-Germain take on Chelsea at New York’s MetLife Stadium in the final of the 2025 Club World Cup (kick-off 9pm CET, broadcast on DAZN). On the eve of the match, Le Parisien has put forward a likely Parisian team.
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué
Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Beraldo – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma
An entirely credible team, as PSG’s “onze-type” has taken shape in recent weeks. There’s still plenty of competition at PSG, but the usual first-team regulars are putting in a string of great performances, making them difficult to get out.
Willian Pacho’s suspension benefits Lucas Beraldo, while Lucas Hernandez is also out of the squad due to a red card received against Bayern Munich (quarter-final). As for the rest, we can envisage a possible rotation, given the fatigue. But PSG were also able to cope with the semi-final against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
Above all, there’s still some suspense in attack, between Désiré Doué and Bradley Barcola to occupy the right flank. Although it wouldn’t be at all shocking to see them start. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is expected to start, however, after some impressive performances. We’ll have to wait for the official announcement, around 1h30 before the match, for the certainties.
