Joao Pedro's first start for Chelsea was a rather memorable one, as the newly signed $75-million striker scored both goals and the Blues beat Fluminense, Pedro's boyhood club, 2-0 in the semifinals of the 2025 Club World Cup on Tuesday.

João Pedro scored twice against his boyhood team in his first start for Chelsea, leading the Blues over Fluminense 2-0 and into an all-European Club World Cup final.

Standing in their way is Fluminense, who will become the third Brazilian side Chelsea have faced in the Club World Cup this summer after Flamengo and Palmeiras. The winner of Tuesday's tie in New Jersey will play Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid in Sunday's final - a chance to make history.
