In an emotionally charged game, João Pedro scored twice to lead Chelsea to a 2-0 victory over his childhood club, Fluminense, thereby securing a place in the all-European Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium.
Despite his pivotal performance, Pedro refrained from celebrating as a sign of respect for Fluminense, where he spent his formative years. Chelsea now advances to Sunday's final, awaiting the victor of the Paris Saint-Germain versus Real Madrid match.
With temperatures soaring to 93 degrees and a reduced crowd, Chelsea's victory earns them significant financial rewards and the opportunity to capture their second world championship.
