However, it is a shame that we only managed to get a draw, because we had the ability to win the game."
Speaking about the penalty he created and successfully scored, João Pedro proudly said: "I was trying to control the ball and unfortunately I was pushed by Arsenal's Saliba, and the referee decided to award a penalty. I was very happy to take the penalty and put the ball in the net. I am always committed to staying active in terms of goals and assists, enjoying the moment of scoring and looking forward to contributing more goals in the future to help my team win."
João Pedro also commented on the team's overall performance: "We showed team cohesion on the field and every player contributed to the team. Even though the result was not satisfactory, the fighting spirit and effort we showed deserves to be recognized. We will learn from this game and continue to work hard to prepare for the upcoming matches."
