Pedro Neto, a 26-year-old Chelsea winger, played a full 90 minutes for Portugal in an advanced attacking role during their 1-0 Nations League victory over Wales. New Portugal manager Jorge Jesus started Neto alongside João Félix and Cristiano Ronaldo, with Félix scoring the decisive goal in the 22nd minute. This contrasts significantly with Neto's usual wing-back position under Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso, who deployed him there in the 3-0 defeat to Brentford. Neto's versatility, highlighted by his attacking freedom for his country, was a factor in Chelsea securing his long-term future despite interest from Manchester City. While his international role doesn't guarantee a change at Stamford Bridge, it serves as a reminder of his capabilities as a conventional attacker. Portugal will next face Norway in the Nations League.
