English football giants Chelsea FC have booked their spot in the final of the FIFA Club World Cup, showing once again why they are a team not to be underestimated. The Blues defeated Brazilian side Fluminense 2-0 in the semi-final match played on Tuesday night.
The star of the night was Joao Pedro, Chelsea’s recent signing from Brighton, who scored both goals to seal the win. The 22-year-old striker, who joined Chelsea for around £60 million, proved his worth in just his second appearance for the club.
