The Grand Finale
The Final of the FIFA Club World Cup is here, and it’s Chelsea F.C. vs Paris Saint-Germain in what promises to be an epic clash between two European giants. At Sofascore, we’ve put together the ultimate Fantasy XI to help you make the most of this last round. Here are our top picks and reasons why they deserve a spot in your team.
🧤 Gianluigi Donnarumma (PSG)
The Italian goalkeeper has been rock-solid throughout the tournament, conceding just one goal (scored by Igor Jesus in the match vs Botafogo). Gigio is reliable, consistent and in top form. He’s not just our first choice between the sticks, but also our recommended Captain for this final.
🏎️ Achraf Hakimi (PSG)
Arguably the best right-back in the world right now. Fast, technical and always threatening in the final third. Hakimi will be locked in a key battle with Cucurella down the wing. As always one to keep an eye on.
🛡️ Tosin Adarabioyo (Chelsea)
A very solid centre-back since arriving at the Blues. Strong in the air and solid in his positioning, Adarabioyo will play a crucial role in stopping PSG’s attacking threats.
🇧🇷 Malo Gusto (Chelsea)
In good shape. He was preferred over Reece James in both the quarterfinal and semifinal and probably for good reason. Energetic and forward-thinking, Gusto’s pace and crossing ability make him a useful weapon on the right. Expect a tidy performance.
☝️ Senny Mayulu (PSG)
Born in 2006, Mayulu is already making headlines. He scored in the Champions League final against Inter, but also a big team like Atlético Madrid have felt his impact. He usually comes off the bench, but has a real knack for scoring. A low-cost wildcard pick with huge upside.
💡 Fabián Ruiz (PSG)
Coming off a sensational semifinal in which he scored twice, the Spanish midfielder is in red-hot form. Expect him to play a leading role once again in this last battle.
🔵 Pedro Neto (Chelsea)
Three goals so far in the tournament. The Portuguese winger is arguably one of Chelsea’s most dangerous players at the moment. Quick, skillful and always hungry for goal. He is a nightmare for any defender.
⚙️ Enzo Fernández (Chelsea)
The brain of Maresca’s midfield. With his vision, leadership and ability to join the attack, Enzo will be a key figure in what promises to be a hard-fought final. Free kicks and assists are his trademark.
🎈 Christopher Nkunku (Chelsea)
Unpredictable and explosive. Nkunku has the quality to decide a final with a moment of brilliance and he is at the heart of Chelsea’s offensive schemes. Is it time for the iconic balloon celebration?
💥 João Pedro (Chelsea)
Smart and composed, he moves well between the lines and can score with just a few touches. A cool-headed finisher and a solid Fantasy choice. We at Sofascore think he will be a starter in this match, at the expense of Delap. Will his name appear on the scoresheet again?
👀 Ousmane Dembélé (PSG)
The face of PSG’s attack. After helping his team lift the Champions League trophy, this final could be yet another step towards the probably deserved Ballon d’Or glory. Dembélé is always (the) danger and leaving him out now would be a huge mistake.
The Final Word
The stage is set, the stars are aligned, and the title is on the line. Whether you’re team Chelsea or team PSG, make sure your Fantasy squad is ready for this last dance!
