Hiller: Chelsea may have a chance to defeat Paris in a stern face, and a head-on battle may be miserable

Alan Shearer talked about the next Club World Cup final between Chelsea and Paris in The Rest is Football podcast.

Hiller said: "This will surely be a wonderful final, isn't it? The showdown between the two top teams in this tournament is undoubtedly more optimistic, but as we said a few days ago, Chelsea has also made great progress. This final is worth looking forward to."

Four English teams have been defeated by Paris in the 2024-25 season. Hiller said: "If Chelsea chooses to fight head-on, it may repeat the mistakes of Real Madrid. , but if they can adopt a smarter strategy and shrink their defense and wait for an opportunity to fight back, they have a chance to win. However, Paris' current state and confidence are really terrifying. Since October, they have been the only one in Europe and even the world. As I said, the players on each front are in the best shape. This will be a serious test for Chelsea."

Hiller's podcast partner, Leinker, said that Chelsea may be able to rely on the inspiration of stars such as Palmer to create miracles. In response, Hiller said: "It is not impossible. Chelsea does have upset conditions. When having a player like Palmer and the finishing ability shown by Joao Pedro, a magical moment may be able to turn the situation around, but overall it will still be very difficult."
