Reece James responds to Chelsea’s underdog status ahead of Club World Cup final

Captain Reece James has addressed Chelsea’s underdog status ahead of the 2025 Club World Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) — a label emerging from the French team’s impressive performance in the United States tournament.

PSG has demonstrated remarkable dominance throughout the competition — recording 16 goals while conceding just once. Luis Enrique’s side has defeated top-tier teams including Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid on their path to the final.

Unlike PSG, Chelsea has only faced mid-level teams to reach the final — leading many to predict The Blues will struggle against Les Parisiens in the championship match.
