Episode Ep 3298: Chelsea, The Undisputed...- 14/07/25

0:00 1:17:04

Chelsea are the new FIFA world champions after destroying PSG in another one-sided CWC knockout game. Johnny Infantino's long servile campaign paid dividends as Donald Trump showed up and dominated the extended post-match proceedings.

The entire occasion was as though someone had started with the basic concept: imagine the Americans had invented football. To which we can only respond: why?

Jonathan Wilson and Tim Vickery join us to look back on the final and to evaluate the tournament as a whole. Do they agree with Enzo Maresca's perhaps self-serving prediction that this competition is going to take over from the Champions League as the gold standard of club football?
