Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has shared his thoughts on facing either Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid in this year’s Club World Cup final.

The Blues secured their spot with a solid 2-0 victory over Fluminense on Tuesday night, Footballrover reports.

New signing João Pedro found the net in both halves to help Maresca’s team reach their second final in just a month.

Chelsea Boss Maresca Praises PSG and Real Madrid Ahead of Final

The Chelsea boss says he’s “proud” and ready for either PSG or Real Madrid in the final after seeing off the Brazilians in New York.

For the Italian, facing Europe’s best is just the prize Chelsea deserves.

After the win, Maresca told DAZN:

“I like both teams; they played very good football. Luis Enrique had two seasons there; Xabi has just arrived, but we can see how he wants to play. We will play a strong team, but we are proud to be already there.”

It’s clear the Club World trophy means a lot to the Blues. This is the first edition featuring the world’s top teams, and Maresca knows Chelsea must be at their best.

Club World Cup Final Chance Makes Maresca Proud

Speaking on the scale of Chelsea’s run, the Blues manager added:

“We are very happy. We are very proud to play the final on Sunday. This is the first edition of the Club World Cup with the best teams in it, and we have reached the final. It’s a great achievement.”

Whether it’s PSG’s flowing style or Madrid’s European grit, the Club World Cup Final promises drama.

Now, Maresca’s Chelsea will aim to lift the trophy on Sunday — proud, prepared, and ready for anything.
