'I think it was a dream' - Joao Pedro delights in Chelsea debut as Brazilian apologises to former club Fluminense after Club World Cup victory

Serie A

Fluminense

Cruzeiro

<p>The Brazilian attacker made an instant impact after completing his move to Chelsea this summer as his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/video-joao-pedro-chelsea-brilliant-fluminense-club-world-cup/blt3c41d9e0221e54ca" target="_blank">brace sent the English side to the Club World Cup final</a> at the expense of Fluminense. Pedro opened the scoring in the 18th minute against his former club before doubling his tally in the 56th minute to seal a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-player-ratings-fluminense-joao-pedro-club-world-cup-final/blta9bd5223a2a4746e" target="_blank">crucial win for his new team</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Blues missed the services of another new signing in Liam Delap, who was serving a one-game suspension, but Pedro's fiery form upfront hardly let the Premier League side feel the English forward's absence. After the game, the ex-Brighton star apologised to Fluminense, where he spent his formative years before making his senior debut for the Brazilian side in 2019.</p><div data-name="DAZN" class="affiliate-button-container theme-1"><div class="affiliate-button"><img height="40" width="72" src="https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt2a657c326f3152f3/65709dfdfcc91a04075bd960/DAZN.png" style="width: 72;height: 40;" class="logo"><span class="affiliate-text">Watch every game of the FIFA Club World Cup live on DAZN</span></div><a href="https://prf.hn/click/camref:1100lfsPh/pubref:CWC" target="_blank" class="affiliate-button-link">Stream now</a></div>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to DAZN at full time, the 23-year-old said: "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. I can just say sorry (to Fluminense) but I have to be professional. I play for Chelsea. They pay me to score goals and today I was happy to score."  </p>

WHAT PEDRO SAID

<p>Enzo Maresca's side will now face the winner of the second semi-final between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain in the showpiece event on July 13.</p>
