Jacob Steinberg was at MetLife Stadium this afternoon. His report has landed, and here it is. Congratulations to Chelsea, commiserations to Fluminense, and thanks to you, dear reader, for joining us on the MBM. See you tomorrow to see whether it’s Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid who the Blues will meet in Sunday’s final.
João Pedro, the man of the match and formerly of Flu, speaks to DAZN. “It was a dream first start … it could not be better … now we need to think about the final … I am very happy today … I am happy to score my first goal [for Chelsea] but also I know this tournament is also very important for [Fluminense] … I can just say sorry but I have to be professional … I play for Chelsea and they pay me to score goals … I had to score … I had more time to do my stuff … the team played well and that’s important … now I need to rest and focus on the final … it will be a very important game … it would be my first title … very special … now we need to move forward … the group is very good, they help me a lot, I am comfortable here.”
