In the journey of Chelsea to advance to the finals, unfamiliar opponents have always been their unchanging theme. In four of the six games, four of them were the first time in history to fight their opponents. Chelsea beat Los Angeles 2-0 in the group stage, and their only defeat was to lose 1-3 to the Brazilian League team Flamenco, 3-0 to Tunisia Hope, and advanced to the knockout stage as the second in the group. Their signing luck was also quite good, so they were lucky to come to the first half. In the 1/8 final, facing Portuguese Super League powerhouse Benfica, James scored a free kick to help Chelsea take the lead. As the game was about to end, a thunderstorm affected the normal operation of the entire game. The leading Chelsea and the lagging Benfica both rested for a long time. When the weather recovered, Di Maria tied the game in stoppage time and successfully dragged into overtime. Chelsea seized the opportunity of Prestiani being sent off and scored three goals in overtime, advancing without any danger. In the quarter-finals, Chelsea played the second game in history with Palmeiras. Palmer scored early to take the lead. Estewan equalized the score in the second half. Then Weverton's own goal allowed Maresca's team to successfully advance.

Faced with Frumenense led by the team's legendary Thiago Silva, Cucurella cleared the goal line, and new player Joao Pedro scored twice and successfully won the ticket to the final.

semi-final- —Paris Saint-Germain 4-0 Real Madrid

Enrique's team can be described as unstoppable in this Club World Cup. They lost to Bottafogo in five of their six games, but they lost to Bottafogo 0-1 in the group stage. In the first round of the group stage, they beat the La Liga giants Atletico Madrid 4-0, easily defeated the Seattle Bayerman 2-0, and advanced to the knockout stage as the first in the group. However, Paris's signing luck was very bad, and they came to the second half of the death. In the 1/8 final, facing Miami International led by Messi, due to the huge gap in strength, Paris wiped out Miami International with a 4-0 score in the first half. In the second half, he put away his fists and kicks and ended with a 4-0 score. In the quarter-finals, Paris Saint-Germain encountered the challenge of Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich. Both sides played very anxiously in the first half, 0-0 in the half, and Douai's scored in the second half to help Paris take the lead. Paris Saint-Germain received two red cards! As a result, in a 9-11 match, Paris Saint-Germain relied on Dembele, who returned to the game and scored another goal 2-0. His return from injury also reminded people in a timely manner that he is indeed qualified to win the European Golden Ball Award. In the semi-finals, facing the giant Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain took the lead 3-0 in less than 25 minutes of the game! Unexpectedly, Enrique's team shocked the entire football world. In the second half, Gonzalo Ramos scored another goal and defeated Real Madrid 4-0, successfully winning the ticket to the final.

Chelsea's signing luck was very lucky and came to the finals with relatively easy speed. Maresca's team also made full use of this. Tactically speaking, Maresca used weaker opponents as a test field, and integrated newly signed players into his game style. The formation became more and more familiar and stable. Although there were some adjustments in position, during the Club World Cup, Chelsea's core principles of the game remained unchanged, maintaining strong control and orderly ball control. Maresca's deep-rooted melon-style pass control. When they patiently explored the tactics and found flaws, they would launch an attack with speed and ferocity. Neto's sharp breakthrough was also a major weapon for Chelsea.

New Agent Joao Pedro ignited the semi-finals with two brilliant goals behind the scenes of the semifinals, who can become the leader of the front line, Joao Pedro's comprehensiveness allows him to retreat and help organize the offense, but if Maresca chooses a more traditional No. 9 position that can lengthen the back line on Sunday, Drapp and Jackson will remain strong replacements.

Paris Saint-Germain advanced to the first place in the group and was indeed very badly divided into the dead half. However, they still reached the final with a breakout offensive. Neves, Vitinia and Ruiz, three skilled midfielders, easily controlled the ball and controlled the rhythm in their own hands. Enrique's high pressure and active defense made the opponent feel full of pressure. Douai led the game in the number of extraordinary attempts, and Kvaratshelia followed closely behind, ranking third. Their fast pace, smooth inside movement and continuous rotation make it difficult for them to be tracked and controlled. The speed and skills of the two full-backs Ashraf and Mendes have caused great headaches for their opponents. They can attack while maintaining defense without losing positions. Enrique's team is very, very perfect overall. Under this system, they are invincible in the game this season. Paris Saint-Germain has swept their opponents all the way in recent months, and it seems that no opponent will disturb this smooth and seamless winning machine. Trump has formed a close relationship with FIFA President Infantino, a relationship that has become more obvious after Trump’s re-election, and in 2018, Trump served as president when FIFA awarded the 2026 World Cup hosting to the United States, Mexico and Canada. Recently, he accompanied Trump to the Middle East, which led to him almost missing the FIFA annual conference in Paraguay in May, a decision that sparked strong criticism from European football leaders who drifted out of the meeting.

Therefore, it is no surprise that he attended the Club World Cup finals, given Trump's close ties with Infantino. Last month, New York Governor Murphy admitted that he also invited Trump to watch the Club World Cup finals, but he was not sure whether the president would be willing to attend, and as a result, Trump came.

Before Trump's press conference ended on Tuesday, a reporter asked him if he would bring the trophy to the game site on Sunday. The president quipped: "Yes, I will give it to you, the trophy is in my office."

Because this may be a replica of the Club World Cup exhibited in the White House before, but it may also be the genuine version of the Club World Cup exhibited at Trump Tower.

In short, Trump's arrival has added enough drama to this competition!
