The storm swept the global football world. World football was shocked when Paris Saint-Germain swept Real Madrid, the Champions League king, with a huge difference of 4-0 in the club's World Cup semi-finals. Almost everyone was watching silence for Chelsea. However, history is always repeating: the more seemingly invincible giant ships, the more likely they are to hide cracks that subvert fate.

Paris Saint-Germain's strength is beyond doubt. Enrique successfully combined a group of talented stars into a highly unified tactical and precise operational whole. The game against Real Madrid is like a textbook tactical show - smooth short pass penetration, suffocating high-level oppression, sharp and deadly counterattack conversion. When people talk about Chelsea's "opportunities" are not just tactical deductions on paper. What supports this possibility is the iron-blooded counterattack gene that has been tempered in the blood of the Blues. Even though they have experienced turmoil in recent years, when this slightly young Chelsea entered the finals of the Club World Cup, they still inherited the Blues' code of fighting in desperate situations and creating miracles in impossible situations.

This peak showdown at the Metropolitan Life Stadium in New York (3 a.m. on July 14), has long surpassed the simple championship battle. It represents a fierce collision between two football philosophy: the ultimate pass-through aesthetic vs. the pragmatic iron-blooded counterattack.

If Paris wins, it will achieve a legendary dominance of Manchester City, Liverpool, Villa, Arsenal and Chelsea in a single season - "five-killing Premier League". This will be the coronation of Enrique's philosophy to the top of the throne. The roar of the Paris warship resounded through the sky, and Chelsea held the wrench that could pry the dynasty in his hand. Will you believe in miracles when the final whistle sounds?
