Chelsea-PSG: Memorable previous meetings
- Final will be ninth meeting between Chelsea FC and Paris Saint-Germain
- PSG have won three of the previous matches to Chelsea's two

Chelsea FC and Paris Saint-Germain are gearing up for FIFA Club World Cup final showdown in New Jersey.
It may be their highest-stakes meeting yet but this is simply the latest in a long line of titanic tussles between these two giants of European football. This will be their ninth meeting in total, and they played six times in a hectic three-year spell between 2014 and 2016.
It has been a closely matched rivalry, too, with two wins for the London side, three for the Parisians, three draws - and plenty of outstanding goals.

Chelsea captain John Terry had earlier opened the scoring.
