João Pedro scored both goals for Chelsea in a 2-0 victory against Fluminense, his former club, at MetLife Stadium. He netted in the 18th minute and again early in the second half. Despite his success, Pedro expressed gratitude for Fluminense’s support during his early career, acknowledging the bittersweet nature of his goals. He made his Chelsea debut within days of joining the club and contributed significantly to the team, which is focusing on building from previous successes, including a fourth-place finish in the Premier League and a UEFA Conference League win.
"They [Fluminense] gave everything to me. They showed me to the world. If I'm here, it's because they believed in me," said Pedro.
"Today I think because I started, I had more time to do my stuff and I had to score. The team won, the team played well and that's important," he added.
