Joao Pedro scored both goals in Chelsea's 2-0 victory over Fluminense, marking a successful full debut. This victory advances Chelsea to the Club World Cup final against either Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain. Signed from Brighton, Joao Pedro was delighted with his performance and focused on fitness for the upcoming final. He expressed gratitude towards Fluminense for his early career support and highlighted the importance of team camaraderie. He refrained from celebrating his goals out of respect for his boyhood club, Fluminense.
I think it was a dream. I don't think it could have been better. Two goals. Now we need to think about the final. I am very happy to score two goals today.
[Enzo Maresca] just said to me to play the same as I did in the last game. Because I had more time to do my stuff, I was happy to score, the team won, the team played well and that is important.
It would be my first title as well. I think it will be a very important game, a very special game. I came one week ago and now I am going to play a final. I am very happy.
When I was young I didn't have anything and they gave me everything. They showed me to the world. I'm here because they believe in me. I am very grateful.
