Former Nigeria midfielder, John Mikel Obi, has predicted that Chelsea can pull an upset against Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup final on Sunday.
The two Europeans teams will be seeking to win the first expanded version of the competition in New Jersey.
PSG qualified with an emphatic 4-0 drubbing of Real Madrid in the semi-final, while the Blues beat Fluminense 2-0.
Luis Enrique’s men are favourites to win the trophy, as they have already secured a Treble this season.
But Mikel Obi, speaking on talkSPORT, said: “If any team can beat this PSG side, I think it’s Chelsea.
“The way we’re playing, the team that we got — we’ve got also a very, very good young team as well that can compete.
“I think one thing that they actually use in terms of the way they play against teams is that they’re very, very athletic. They have pace, power — that’s something we have as well.”
