The incredible statistic that puts Pedro in the same league as the legend of Chelsea, Didier Drogba

Pedro, the Chelsea winger, loves to score goals in the final, and there is now a statistic that proves it.

The Spaniard scored the second goal of the Blues by beating Arsenal, his rival 4-1, in the final of the Europa League on Wednesday night. This goal is the eighth time that he has scored in a major final.

Pedro's goal was between Olivier Giroud's strikes and a lone Eden Hazard, which meant that Chelsea was a comfortable winner tonight while he was refusing his opponents a place in Champions League next season. The trophy was the first great honor of his career for manager Maurizio Sarri.

Coming from Barcelona, ​​Pedro has already received many honors, including three leagues of champions, five Spanish titles, three Spanish cups and six Super Spanish Cups. Not to mention that he is also winner of the World Cup and champion of Europe with Spain.

In all the finals in which Pedro appeared, he found the net in eight of them. The list of finals in which he scored is below.

1 – Cup of Spain (2009)

2 – UEFA Super Cup (2009)

3 – FIFA Club World Cup (2009)

4 – Champions League (2011)

5 – Copa Del Rey (2012)

6 Super Cup of Spain (2012)

7- UEFA Super Cup (2015)

8 – Europa League (2019)

One player that the statistic compares to the others is Chelsea's legendary striker, Didier Drogba. The Ivorian scored nine goals in nine major finals for the club, including the UEFA Champions League win against Bayern Munich in 2012.

Of course, Pedro still has a long way to go to reach Drogba's status at Stamford Bridge. 164 goals in 381 games is a pretty impressive record.

But if the Spaniard continues to score in the final to win the silverware for the club, he will begin to get closer.
