Scores hat trick in preseason
Pedro scored three goals and added an assist in Chelsea's 2026/27 preseason opener against Western Sydney Wanderers on Tuesday, showing strong motivation under new coach Xabi Alonso, the club posted.
Analysis: Pedro finished as Chelsea's leading scorer last season with 20 goals across domestic and European competition, adding five assists over 47 appearances, but missed out on Brazil's final World Cup squad despite being on the radar throughout the cycle. His hat trick in the opening preseason friendly is an emphatic early statement, suggesting he has used the missed tournament and the extended break as motivation heading into the new 2026/27 Premier League campaign under new coach Xabi Alonso.
Quiet outing in loss
Pedro registered two shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Sunderland. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 97th minute.
Analysis: Pedro was held without a direct goal contribution for the third straight match. Still, that late drought didn't alter his position as Chelsea's leading scorer after notching 20 goals between domestic and European play in 2025/26. Other than that, he chipped in five assists over 47 games, making him one of the most productive players in an underwhelming campaign for the team. Despite remaining on Brazil's radar throughout the World Cup cycle, he didn't make the final squad for the summer event and is now set for a lengthy break before club activity resumes.
