📊 Opta Data
João Pedro scored his first goal wearing the Chelsea shirt — and what a moment! He became the first Brazilian to find the net for the club in an official match since Thiago Silva, back in the previous season.
Remember that 2-2 draw against Sheffield United in the 2023/24 Premier League? That’s where Thiago Silva scored his goal. Now at Fluminense, the defender "passes the baton" to his young compatriot.

It’s curious how football connects people: João Pedro makes history and ends a drought of more than a year. Could this be the start of a new era for Brazilians at Stamford Bridge?
