PSG are coming off a dominant 4-0 win over Real Madrid in Wednesday's semifinal, while Chelsea advanced with a 2-0 win over Fluminense on Tuesday.

Real Madrid had hoped to end a disappointing 2024-25 season by winning the Club World Cup, but it was not to be.

Chelsea pulled away, winning 4-1. In the quarterfinals, they faced Palmeiras. That’s when João Pedro, their recent signing from Brighton, made his debut off the bench.
