It’s been an immensely valuable summer both on and off the pitch for Chelsea, who have now glided into the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final with victory over Fluminense. João Pedro’s impressive double downed the Brazilians on Tuesday as the Blues booked their place at the showpiece event against either Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid.

Fluminense's defeat ends South American interest in the Club World Cup, but the Rio de Janeiro-based club ended the tournament as Brazil's most successful side.

Chelsea recorded a 2-1 win over Palmeiras in the quarterfinals, while Fluminense advanced thanks to a thrilling 2-1 victory over Al Hilal.
