It’s been an immensely valuable summer both on and off the pitch for Chelsea, who have now glided into the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final with victory over Fluminense. João Pedro’s impressive double downed the Brazilians on Tuesday as the Blues booked their place at the showpiece event against either Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid.

João Pedro scores twice against his boyhood team as the Blues triumph 2-0 and will face Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid for the title Sunday.

Fifa’s new concept to discover the best club team in the world likely never considered that it might be the fourth-best side in the Premier League but Chelsea find themselves just one game away, thanks in no small part to the goals of a man who did not play for them one week ago.
