Joao Pedro's first start for Chelsea was a rather memorable one, as the newly signed $75-million striker scored both goals and the Blues beat Fluminense, Pedro's boyhood club, 2-0 in the semifinals of the 2025 Club World Cup on Tuesday.

Standing in their way is Fluminense, who will become the third Brazilian side Chelsea have faced in the Club World Cup this summer after Flamengo and Palmeiras. The winner of Tuesday's tie in New Jersey will play Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid in Sunday's final - a chance to make history.

Chelsea's win over Fluminense confirmed the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final will be an all-European affair. Chelsea used a pair of Joao Pedro goals to get past the Brazilian side and set up a Sunday meeting with either Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.
