The glamour of New York, legend after legend in the stands - like Cafu, Alessandro del Piero, Kaka, Franck Ribery, Marco Materazzi - on the pitch, the show of one guy.
And, this guy who became a Chelsea player six days ago - Joao Pedro, with two masterful goals, demolished Fluminense (2:0) in East Radeford and took the "blues" from London to the final of the Club World Cup.
The Brazilian striker introduced himself to Chelsea fans in the right way in a match against the club where he made his first steps, and whose jersey he also wore in his senior career.
As happy as he was about his great start with his new team, Pedro didn't celebrate his goals out of respect for his first love.
The first goal came in the 18th minute - it was a projectile into the far corner, the eternal Fabio in goal for the team from Rio de Janeiro did not have the slightest chance.
After that, Flu had dangerous chances... Mark Cucurella had to save Chelsea from the goal line, while the "blues" were also lucky when Trevo Chaloba played with his hand in his penalty area, Francois Letexier pointed to a penalty, but after the suggestion of the VAR room, he changed his decision.
And while Fluminense was trying, in the 56th minute Enco Marerska's team counterattacked - a great pass from Enco Fernandes and another masterstroke by Pedro.
After that, the guy who arrived at Chelsea from Brighton could have left - it was clear that he had secured a grand World Cup final for his new team.
And, there he will face the better team from the Paris Saint-Germain - Real Madrid duel, the European super derby in the semi-finals will be played tomorrow at 21 pm.
