Chelsea Reach FIFA Club World Cup Final After João Pedro Brace

Chelsea have reached the FIFA Club World Cup final with a 2-0 win over Fluminense. This is a significant moment for Enzo Maresca’s team. They will play for the trophy against either Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain. The final takes place on July 13 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final is scheduled for July 13.

JOÃO PEDRO THE HERO

João Pedro was the star of the match, scoring both goals. The 23-year-old forward joined from Brighton for £55 million. He scored in the 18th and 56th minutes. He played because Liam Delap was suspended, and he proved why he was chosen. His performance helped Chelsea earn £25 million in prize money and showed why the club spent significantly on him.

João Pedro is expected to be included in Chelsea’s squad for the Club World Cup quarterfinals.

CHELSEA’S SEASON AND ROAD TO THE FINAL

Chelsea have had a good season under new manager Enzo Maresca. Their creative play was evident, with Cole Palmer and Moisés Caicedo aiding in midfield. The Blues defeated a disciplined Fluminense side missing star Matheus Martinelli. This win ends South America’s hopes in the tournament and adds to Chelsea’s strong run since 2025, where they recently won the Europa Conference League and finished fourth in the Premier League, guaranteeing Champions League qualification.
