Real Madrid's Gareth Bale, who played in the match, praised Pedro's performance. Bale said, "Pedro's achievement wasn't just about scoring goals. He showed excellent link-up play, passing, and vision throughout the game."
Bale also acknowledged the difficulty of adjusting to a new team and teammates. He commended Pedro for a great all-around performance and for deserving the player of the match award.
Bale noted that Pedro has made a significant step up from his previous team, Brighton, to a top-level team like Chelsea, which competes in the Champions League and strives for trophies.
He expressed hope that Pedro will continue to work hard and maintain a humble attitude, as he has the potential to achieve great things in the sport.
Callum Wilson, a former Newcastle striker, also offered his thoughts on Pedro's performance. He said, "Pedro already had confidence, but scoring two goals will certainly boost his confidence even more."
Wilson praised Pedro's first goal, which he described as a fantastic finish. He also believed that Pedro's signing could be a great addition to Chelsea's team.
