It is 2025 Club World Cup final day with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain meeting at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The two teams have already won international trophies this season; PSG are the European champions while their opponents won the UEFA Conference League.
Chelsea have won the Club World Cup twice before in its old format, while the Parisians had never played in the competition before this summer.
You can sign up to DAZN to watch the FIFA Club World Cup final for free.
So, it all comes down to this.
The first expanded Club World Cup is down to its last two teams. One of them always felt likely with PSG steamrolling their way through the Champions League on the eve of this tournament.
Chelsea, meanwhile, were not particularly well fancied to make it this far but have benefitted from a rather favourable draw to make it to the final.
Everything points to the European champions continuing their dominance here, but Enzo Maresca's and his men will be desperate to cause an upset.

MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey
Not only will this place host today's final, it has also been selected as the host for next summer's World Cup final.
This is the fourth game in a row at this tournament being played at MetLife Stadium after the last quarter-final and both semis were held here.
With no roof and precious little in the way of shade, it is one of the more unpleasant places to play football in intense heat so the players will be glad to see that it won't be as warm here today as it has been at times over the last fortnight.
