Pedro has made a good career for himself, at Barcelona alongside Lionel Messi, Thierry Henry, Samuel Eto’o and a host of other superstars. The former Barcelona winger was trusted by Pep Guardiola often on the right of attack and he delivered spot on.
His movements and pace came in handy for the ball possession-crazy side when they shifted to a counter-attacking system in rare moments. Fast forward a couple of years after scoring goals in the Champions League final, Pedro was warming Chelsea’s bench at Stamford Bridge with no sign that he could replicate his sterling career in London.

The sacking of Mourinho at Chelsea was his blessing. He came out right off the blocks deep into the early part of the 2016/17 season, after the famous switch to a three-pronged attack in Chelsea’s 3-4-3, and suddenly rediscovered his good old form.
The Spaniard is now playing alongside Eden Hazard and Diego Costa, having taken the spot previously occupied by Willian, and showing Chelsea fans why the £21 million splashed on him was worthy it. His goals, assists and general play has been very encouraging and the very reason, other creative players warm Chelsea’s bench continuously.
