In the early morning of July 9, Chelsea won a ticket to the final of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 after a convincing 2-0 victory over Fluminense. New signing Pedro, in his first official appearance for Chelsea, made his mark with a spectacular double.
Pedro's excellent performance explains why "The Blues" are determined to recruit him and let the player start even though the two sides only completed the contract a few days ago. Goal gave the Brazilian striker a score of 9 (out of 10) with the comment: "Pedro's two goals showed his diverse finishing ability, showing his confidence in a Chelsea shirt".
Meanwhile, L'Équipe gave Pedro a score of 4.5 (out of 5) with the comment: "Starting in his debut match, the 23-year-old Brazilian striker repaid coach Maresca's trust with a top performance, no one deserved the title of best player of the match more than Pedro. Now the world knows who Joao Pedro is."
According to The Athletic , Pedro's impeccable performance was key to Chelsea's passage to the final. The Brazilian opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a stunning long-range strike. From outside the box, he curled a precise shot into the right corner of the goal, leaving the Fluminense goalkeeper helpless.
In the 56th minute, Pedro completed his double when he powerfully finished from Enzo Fernandez's pass, sending the ball hitting the underside of the crossbar and flying into the net. Both of Pedro's goals were superb, earning him a score of 9.2 (out of 10) from Sofascore .
Pedro is one of Chelsea's most expensive signings in the 2025 summer transfer window, with a transfer fee of £55 million, plus a potential £5 million in add-ons.
Thanks to FIFA allowing clubs to register additional players until July 3, Pedro was able to play for Chelsea from the quarter-final against Palmeiras, just days after signing an eight-year contract with the Blues.
