Joao Pedro took just 31 seconds to score against Fulham in a 3-2 win, marking an impressive start to his career under manager Xabi Alonso.
The 24-year-old was handed the coveted number nine shirt along with a new contract running until 2034, following an impressive season where he scored 20 goals.
A section of Chelsea supporters believes in the number nine curse, noting that high-profile predecessors like Romelu Lukaku and Alvaro Morata struggled while wearing the shirt.
Despite the pressure and his challenging childhood raised by his mother, Joao Pedro insists he does not believe in curses and remains focused on his football dreams.
