Facing the European champions, the Blues can count on their captain. The reigning World Champion with Argentina is a true specialist in decisive challenges.
To lift the Club World Cup trophy, Enzo Maresca`s Chelsea will have to overcome the toughest obstacle: PSG, fresh winners of the Champions League. The final is scheduled for New York at 9 PM. The Blues will have a winning weapon in Enzo Fernandez (valued at 57 credits in the fantasy game), their captain, already a world champion with Argentina. Among the 55 players from the two finalists, only four have already won a World Cup. In addition to Fernandez, the hero of Qatar 2022, there are the French players Dembélé, Hernandez, and Kimpembe (champions in 2018). But all eyes are on Fernandez: if he lifts the trophy tonight, he would become the only player on the field to simultaneously hold the world title with both the national team and a club.
IMPRESSIVE PALMARES
Despite his young age (24), Enzo Fernandez has already amassed a considerable list of honors, triumphing wherever he has played. With River Plate, he won the Liga Profesional and the Trofeo de Campeones. With Defensa y Justicia, he secured the Copa Sudamericana and the Recopa Sudamericana. Upon arriving in Europe, he lifted the Primeira Liga with Benfica (2022-23). And with Chelsea, he has already made his mark, winning the Conference League a few months ago and scoring in the final against Betis (4-1). His most prestigious successes are with Argentina: World Champion in Qatar 2022 and winner of the Copa America 2024, right in the United States. Fernandez has played in six finals in his career and hasn`t lost any of them. Now, in the Club World Cup final, once again on American soil and against French opponents, just like in 2022, he dreams of repeating the feat, this time wearing the Chelsea shirt.
