Chelsea forward Pedro made history following the Blues’ 4-1 victory over Arsenal in the Europa League final on Wednesday night.
Pedro scored the second goal of the night, sweeping the ball past Petr Cech to put Chelsea 2-0 up.
Eden Hazard’s brace and Olivier Giroud’s header made up the other goals for Maurizio Sarri’s men.
And when the final whistle went in Baku, Pedro achieved a feat that no one else has done before.
The 31-year-old became the first player to win the Europa League, Champions League, World Cup, European Championship and Premier League.
He’s had a glittering career since he started as a pro in 2005, having also won LaLiga, the Copa del Rey, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.
Below you can see a comprehensive list of the trophies Pedro has won.
