Chelsea cruised into the FIFA Club World Cup final, defeating Fluminense 2-0 at a humid MetLife Stadium with a display of tactical discipline and attacking flair. João Pedro, on his full debut, shone brightly, scoring twice. First, he nodded in a precise Cole Palmer cross in the 22nd minute. Then, after the hour, he calmly finished a slick one-two with Noni Madueke.
The Blues dictated the tempo, dominating possession and pressing tirelessly to disrupt Fluminense’s flow. However, Fluminense nearly shifted the game with a VAR-overturned penalty and a late surge, including Arias’ fierce strike, which Robert Sánchez brilliantly tipped away. Chelsea’s defense, led by a commanding Levi Colwill, held firm for a deserved clean sheet.
Now, Chelsea await either PSG, powered by Kylian Mbappé’s electric pace, or Real Madrid, driven by Vinícius Jr.’s dazzling flair, in what promises to be an epic final. Confident and prepared, the Blues are poised to claim the global crown.
