Senegal international Nicolas Jackson and Moroccan star Achraf Hakimi will be seeking global glory in Sunday’s 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final. Kick-off is at 21h00 CAT.
Chelsea FC and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will go head to head at the MetLife Stadium, which is the largest stadium in New Jersey, USA, with a capacity of over 82,000.
Jackson helped Chelsea reach the final after securing a 2-0 win over Brazilian side Fluminese in a semi-final clash on Tuesday, with the Senegal international being introduced on the hour mark.
The 24-year-old striker, who grabbed an assist in Chelsea’s opening game at the Club World Cup, which was against the USA’s Los Angeles, will be keen to inspire his side to a win over PSG.
Hakimi, on the other hand, has been very influential for PSG as the Moroccan right-back grabbed an assist in the team’s 4-0 victory over Spanish giants Real Madrid in a semi-final clash on Wednesday.
Having grabbed two goals and provided two assists in the competition, the attack-minded full-back will be eager to play an important role in helping his side overcome Chelsea.
Should PSG win in the final, they would get a whopping $147.7 million in total prize money, while Chelsea’s total would skyrocket to $147.7 million if they clinch the trophy.
