😅 Cria, father figure and new no 9: reactions to Fluminense’s exit | OneFootball

The dream of Fluminense fans came to an end this Tuesday (8th), with the 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in the semifinals of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Even though a large part of Brazilian fans were rooting for the Tricolor das Laranjeiras against the English side, after the defeat was confirmed, the classic and good-natured banter took over social media.

The fact that both goals were scored by João Pedro, who came up through Fluminense’s youth academy, raised the question: is he a product or the father?

João Pedro, who scored his first two goals wearing the Chelsea shirt, has already put himself forward as the "new number 9" for the Brazilian National Team.

The fact that Flamengo, Fluminense’s big rival, beat Chelsea 3-1 in the group stage was also remembered.

The old ghosts reappear...

The end of the dream.
