CHELSEA coach Enzo Maresca hailed João Pedro and expressed his delight at reaching the Fifa Club World Cup final after the new signing’s brace secured a 2-0 win over Fluminense in the semifinal on Tuesday.

Brace yourself: Pedro fires Blues into final on debut

“We are very happy and very proud to be in the final on Sunday because this is the first edition of the Club World Cup and the best clubs in the world are here,” said Maresca.

João Pedro was making his first start since arriving from Brighton & Hove Albion for a reported £60 million (about R1.45bn) last week, fresh from an off-season break. The Brazilian made an immediate impact at the MetLife Stadium, just outside New York, with two clinical finishes on either side of halftime to book Chelsea's place in Sunday's final against either Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid.

“I am very happy for João. He has the quality to decide games like today, but also he was on holiday so is probably a bit more fresh compared to the rest,’ Maresca said of the 23-year-old.
