Moises Caicedo responds to Pedro Neto’s Chelsea announcement
Moises Caicedo reacted as Chelsea confirmed a special recognition for Pedro Neto following a standout moment from last season.
Chelsea ended the campaign on a high, lifting the UEFA Conference League trophy and securing a return to the Champions League.
While Neto’s debut season was largely underwhelming, as he registered just four Premier League goals in 35 appearances, the £54 million signing from Wolves did have flashes of brilliance.
One of those came against Fulham, when the Portuguese winger produced a game-changing moment that ultimately proved decisive scoring the winning goal.
That strike has now been awarded, highlighting one of the brighter moments in an otherwise frustrating first year at Stamford Bridge.
Pedro Neto wins Chelsea goal of the season after Fulham winner
Despite scoring just four goals across the campaign, one of Neto’s efforts stood out — a dramatic winner against West London rivals Fulham.
That goal proved decisive in securing three crucial points during Chelsea’s push for Champions League qualification and it’s now been confirmed that Neto’s strike has won Chelsea’s Goal of the Season for the 2024/25 campaign.
Moises Caicedo showed appreciation by liking the announcement, while Neto reshared the news on his Instagram story with heart emojis.
Although some Chelsea fans have grown frustrated with Neto due to his underwhelming performances, that moment proved pivotal in the club’s run-in.
Neto has been busy since the season ended, featuring for Portugal as they went on to win the Nations League. Now, the Blues are preparing for the upcoming Club World Cup — where the winger will be aiming to secure his second trophy with the club.

Although no deal was reached ahead of the summer tournament, this could be Neto’s chance to prove he deserves a bigger role — or confirm Chelsea’s need to bring in fresh competition on the wing.
