Another added: “Chelsea gets to play PSG again. Let’s use this to find out if that Club World Cup final game was just a fluke or Chelsea actually has the capacity to dunk on PSG again.”
a much-anticipated rematch, let's see who will prevail, at least both come from almost the same background and similar problems, both have not been able to reach their peak performance, so it will be a fairly balanced match and will definitely be heated
