Pedro Neto Crowned Most Handsome at 2026 World Cup?: "It's Unanimous..."

Pedro Neto arrived at Thursday's press conference in high spirits, even introduced by the press officer as "the most handsome player of the 2026 World Cup," a title currently being voted on across social media. Amidst much laughter and questioned by the Portuguese press, the Chelsea winger didn't deny the claim...

"I don't think it's surprising at all, it's completely normal, and I don't even think it was a topic in the locker room, because the whole group unanimously agreed I'm the most handsome at the World Cup [laughs]," he quipped, eliciting hearty laughter from the press room before shifting focus to the upcoming match against Colombia, where a win secures first place.

"To be honest, sometimes we look at the scenarios that could happen if we finish second or third, but the most important thing is to go in with the mentality we have. We want to be the best, and we're going to face Colombia aiming for first place. We don't know what might happen, but that's our objective for the game," he affirmed.

Regarding Cristiano Ronaldo, Pedro Neto was pleased to see him score a brace and silence his critics. "It was obvious the group was happy for him, especially since we know he thrives on goals; he's obsessed with it. We always like to see the best doing what they love. Pressure to deliver for Ronaldo at the World Cup? It's an extra motivation; we want to help him achieve that goal, as much as we want it ourselves, because he's also given us so much," he concluded.

If Pedro Neto is being hailed as the most handsome at the World Cup, his girlfriend, Carolina Silva, has also been captivating attention – the couple celebrated five years together this week, marked by the Chelsea player on social media.
