When the Gold Cup finds the player
(Baonghean.vn) - There are world football stars who, throughout their entire playing career, have rarely won any individual titles. On the contrary, there are players who, whenever they appear in a team, the Golden Cup seems to come to them.
Midfielder Pedro moved from Barcelona to Chelsea four seasons ago for 30 million euros. The recent Europa League title is the 25th title for this Spanish player born in 1987. A number that many much bigger football players in the world cannot even dream of.
Pedro is invincible
After 12 years of playing football, including 8 years playing for Barcelona and 4 years playing for Chelsea, Pedro has won all the prestigious titles of world football at the club level. In addition to 5 La Liga championships, 3 King's Cups, 4 Spanish Super Cups, 3 Champions Leagues, 3 European Super Cups and 2 FIFA Club World Cups with Barcelona, this player also won 1 Premier League, 1 FA Cup and 1 Europa League.
Not to mention a World Cup (2010) and a Euro (2012) championship in the Spanish national team. This is something that even famous senior players like Xavi and Iniesta could not achieve.
Pedro is a technical midfielder, strong in possession, harassment and creation. In 4 seasons playing for Chelsea, he only scored 30 goals, the most in a season was only 9 goals. But the goals of this star are quite important, he is the first Spanish player to score in the finals of the Champions League, Europa League, European Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
His goal in the Europa League final made him only the fifth player in history to score in both the Champions League and Europa League finals, after Allan Simonsen, Hernan Crespo, Dmitri Alenichev and Steven Gerrard. The 31-year-old previously scored in the 2010/11 Champions League final for Barcelona.
Medal looking for owner

Another surprise is that the trio Morata, Fabregas, Victor Moses, despite leaving Chelsea on loan, still received Gold Medals in the Europa League. Because they were in the Chelsea squad at the beginning of the season. It is true that medals have to find their owners, which is rare.
In particular, Morata also won almost all 15 noble titles at the club level when he won 2 La Liga, 2 King's Cups, 2 Champions Leagues, 1 European Super Cup, 1 FIFA Club World Cup with Real Madrid, 2 Serie A, 2 Coppa Italia and 1 Italian Super Cup with Juventus and 1 FA Cup and 1 Europa League in Chelsea's colors.
Chelsea also has a rookie player like that. That is Kovacic, a player who is only 25 years old but has already won 14 titles in his career. The Croatian midfielder currently owns 4 consecutive European championships (3 consecutive Champions League titles with Real Madrid, 1 Europa League title with Chelsea). Before that, he was with the Croatian team to reach the final of the 2018 World Cup.
In 3 seasons playing for the Spanish Royal team, he only had 1 goal after 73 appearances, a very modest number. Even in 32 appearances this season, Kovacic did not score any goals but was still able to lift the Europa League Cup with Chelsea.

Arsenal fans believe that their team lost the match because, in addition to Mesut Ozil's lackluster performance,Chelsea's number 10 Eden Hazard was in great form again, providing good support for Pedro to score Chelsea's second goal because coach Sarri's players had too much "luck".
