I think the FIFA Club World Cup says a lot about the EPL being the most competitive league there is because of all the top clubs PSG encountered throughout the season only EPL clubs were able to give them much problems. I give Chelsea their flowers for winning the CWC it was worth the journey. Chelsea have done very well by validating that the EPL is a what they say it is.
For the final of FIFA club world cup, odds were heavily in favour of PSG because of factors like their performance in the tournament, strong defence (conceded only one goal before the final). But what Chelsea has done in the final was not in anyone mind. Chelsea finished forth in EPL last season while PSG is not only top team of french league but also current UEFA Champions league winner. Chelsea win has confirmed the fact that quality of football in EPL is one of the best in the world.
It was today that I re-watched the match between PSG and Chelsea. You know when you watch a match without the excitement of finals, you will understand what really happened. It was today that I discovered that PSG coach and Chelsea coach plays similar pattern of football. But Enzo Marasca outplayed Enrique by choking him up. The man-marking really choked up PSG midfield. Then leaving Mendez and Hakimi vulnerable if they attack.
I was just analysing the match and had a chuckle. Chelsea was very intentional about the finals while PSG came to do their usual and what really confused or deceived PSG was their win over Real Madrid, without considering that Real Madrid has a faulty team.
