On Tuesday, Chelsea clinched a place in the FIFA Club World Cup final by defeating Fluminense 2-0 in the United States. The match was highlighted by an outstanding debut from Joao Pedro, who netted both goals against his previous club.

Pedro showcased his talent with a stunning curved shot that opened the scoring, followed by a second goal that confirmed Chelsea's victory. His transfer from Brighton this summer is already proving to be a wise investment.

Chelsea's next opponent in the final will either be Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid, set to take place on Sunday. This advancement not only provides a shot at the championship but also significantly boosts their financial rewards.

Reports indicate that Chelsea has guaranteed a minimum of $105 million (£76.4 million) for reaching the final. Should they win on Sunday, this figure could rise to approximately $115 million (£85.4 million). This prize money is comparable to the total transfer fees for players Jamie Gittens and Liam Delap.

Chelsea's entry into this tournament stems from their triumph in the 2021 Champions League. Notably, only Reece James remains from that victorious squad. In an interesting twist, Thiago Silva, who played for Chelsea in the 2021 final, represented Fluminense in the semi-final.
