Chelsea reach Club World Cup final as Joao Pedro haunts former club Fluminense with two semifinal goals

Half of the final of the Club World Cup is set as Chelsea Reported Fluminense with Joao Pedro Scoring his first goals for the blues against his boy’s club on the way to a 2-0 win Tuesday in Metlife Stadium. The new Chelsea Forward already showed why he was an immediate addition to this team after he joined Brighton when he ended with both goals while making his first start instead of the suspended Liam Delap. Pedro will be the 10th goal scorer for the blues in this tournament and helps coach Enzo Maresca to give a good problem to find out who will start at Striker in the final.

Chelsea was able to resist everything that Fluminense threw at them, and a big reason for that was that Moises Caicedo And Enzo Fernandez were excellent in midfield. Their consciousness meant that the blues closed every Fluminense attack before it could develop, while the death of Fernandez quickly kept transitions. The Argentinian was able to get an assist on the second goal of Pedro, which was an important one to provide Chelsea with breathing space.

It became hectic at the end of the first half of the game with Marc Worm Free a chance of the line before the blues almost gave the lead before the break. Trevoh Chalobah gave a fine as a result of a handball, but after a VAR review it was thrown away. In the club World Cup, the interpretation of the handball rule is different from club football, so that Chalobah can get off the hook because his arms are in a natural position.

With an extra lifeline, the blues would not miss a chance to exclude the game. With the depth that is available for them, Maresca has managed this tournament well and will now see his blues in the final for the first time since they won the Club World Cup in 2021, beat Palmeiras, albeit in a much smaller format than this year. Chelsea already won the conference competition, Chelsea is now 90 minutes away from more silverware.

They will also be confronted on July 13 Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid In the final. With the blues that will return to the Champions League this season, it will be an excellent test to see how they can maintain the European elite, but whatever happens, this tournament has been a show that they can be proud of before they start the low season.
