PSG 0 - 0 Bayern HT
One of the better games, but one that also may make bayern
wish they had not taken part. Judging by the reaction of the
players it looked like Musiala was badly injured at the end of
the half.

Why have they changed the trophy again?
And why is there no 3rd place play-off now? They think a 3rd place
play-off, and even a 5th place play-off, is worthwhile when there's
only 6 teams, but it's not worth bothering with a 3rd place play-off
when there's 32 teams?
So the Final of this thing is on today and if it is anywhere near as
warm in Yonkers as it is here, then it is a steam bath.
Based on the last two to three months of the longest season in the
history of football, I would say PSG should win comfortably, but these finals are usually tight. Also, if Chelsea is allowed to use it's 80
player roster, that should help in this sauna match.
PSG are getting dismantled by Cole Palmer. Hands
up who saw that coming.
Having said that, I guess it is official, Chelsea are the best
team in club football for the next 4 years

This has the feel of the 1994 Barcelona-Milan EC1 final: the
strongly favored team being ripped to shreds by the alleged
underdogs.
Close to HT:-a Chelsea up 3-0, and we'll soon get to see Blueshirt's
new sig!
They are not really being ripped to shreds, they are just looking
really tired and conceding every time Chelsea attack. PSG have more possession and completed passes, for whatever that is worth.

Chelsea had no business being there! They already played in it in 2021.
Why do they get 2 chances to play in it? Botafogo aren't going to get 2 chances to play in it unless they win the Copa Libertadores again
between now and 2028.

Erm... every team there were either in their second chance or
got a ranking wild card.
Chelsea had every right as any team there (and more than
some) and won deservedly.

Please don't use little things like facts to try and counter the
illogical ramblings of somebody who clearly doesn't know much
about football... well, outside of what they've read on the
Internet obviously.

They were invited, they played, they won. <shrug> What are you
supposed to do? Send your team out to lose all their games so
the players can go on holiday?

It was 2022 actually. (It was played late because of covid.)
And that tournament is now technically a different tournament.
(The FIFA Intercontinental Cup.)
But the fact remains, regardless of the prestige of these types
of competition, the record books will show that Chelsea FC were
the "FIFA World Champions" twice in just over three years... and
are the "FIFA Club World Champions" until 2029!
It's funny how that title doesn't seem to mean as much now when
teams have to play seven games to win it, in comparison to those
very important one-off/two legged matches that for some reason
qualified teams to be considered to be some of the best club
sides of all time in some people's eyes...
If Chelsea were a Brazilian/Argentinian team some people would
be wetting their pants that they beat PSG 3-0 in the final! (We
do have some good young South American players though, so these
people should feel free to cheer them all on during the coming
season.)

aren't going to get 2 chances to play in it unless they win
the Copa Libertadores again between now and 2028.
Boo hoo, sob sob, Chelsea are the quadrennial "world champions",
officially recognised by FIFA... no manipulation or vote rigging
required. Just how are the begrudgers going to manage?
For anybody suffering from anti-English bias and don't know who
to turn to to get them through the next four years...

No, the Club World Cup is the Club World Cup; it's still the same
tournament. Otherwise Chelsea haven't been World champions twice. The
FIFA Intercontinental Cup is a completely different, irrelevant
tournament.

The Intercontinental Cup wasn't all about money and the teams from
Europe and South America were treated equally fairly.

Botafogo weren't. Maybe they should have chosen them all by
rankings. Or far better still, just don't play it in between
the 4-yearly tournaments.

See above. What's illogical about thinking that Fluminense,
Real Madrid, Chelsea, Palmeiras should only get 1 chance to
play in it from 1 continental championship? Everybody else
only gets 1 chance. And I do know a lot about football.

Recognized the fact that it was totally unfair and just a
money-grabbing attempt by FIFA and sent a 'B' team?

Just being rich and a cash cow for FIFA required, that's all.

Yeah yeah! I thought the same thing about Fluminense,
Flamengo, Real Madrid etc.

Well, I do accept [and have clearly acknowledged] that it was
just a money-making tournament
... and, although not mentioned quite as much, a power grab
by them too.
