PSG currently look like the ultimate force against the whipping boys, but the odds for the final are pretty standard:

5.30 - 4.30 - 1.61

If PSG wins in regular time (which everyone is probably sure of) then +61% for a single bet looks like easy money, right? I can't understand what the catch is. Of course Chelsea is a qualified team, but PSG looks much stronger.

PSG to win is definitely easy money and the odds is of good value looking at where both teams currently are, I don’t find Chelsea to win @ 5.3 tempting, quite honestly, If the 5+ Odds were to be for Chelsea to win the trophy maybe I could consider it, knowing fully well that I’m more likely to lose my money.

Yes, theoretically I can believe that Chelsea will hold out until the penalty shootout and be lucky there. Bookmakers, by the way, also consider this option as probable - the chances are 1 to 3.19, which is significantly less than 5+, which would be profitable.

I guess it's time to sum it up (there's no point for me to look at both pots haha), I hope the next Club World Cup will firstly not be held in the US, since delays of games due to weather are just nonsense. And secondly, I'm not even sure that this tournament is needed, players get year-round burnout, this is not normal. So far from what I've seen, I haven't noticed any real value/emotions that the fans received. This is a weaker version of the Champions League.
I would rather look at how external (in relation to Europe) clubs get wild cards in the Champions League. For example, those that in normal time zones can do it.
