In a dazzling display, João Pedro made his mark by scoring two goals against his former club Fluminense, propelling Chelsea into the FIFA Club World Cup final with a 2-0 victory. Just six days after his transfer from Brighton, the 23-year-old showcased why Chelsea invested £55 million in him.
With Liam Delap suspended, João Pedro seized the opportunity in his debut start for Enzo Maresca’s side. Not only did he score twice, but he also played a pivotal role in Chelsea securing £25 million in prize money by advancing to the final, where they will face either Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain. This impressive performance makes his transfer fee appear a bargain.
Although Fluminense’s run in the tournament has ended, they leave as Brazil’s most successful club historically. Initially seen as the underdogs, they provided significant competition, highlighting the strength of Brazilian football on the world stage. Their semifinal appearance, alongside strong showings from other Brazilian teams, reinforces the idea that the club scene in Brazil remains robust.
João Pedro’s explosive start at Chelsea not only emphasizes his potential impact on the team but also signals a shift in Chelsea’s attacking dynamics. With multiple versatile forwards at his disposal, Maresca faces a delightful challenge to maximize their talents while navigating the complexities of team chemistry.
