Pedro Gonçalves gives Sporting fans 14 reasons to smile | OneFootball

Pedro Gonçalves has been one of the standout players for Sporting this season, and so far, he is achieving some of the best numbers of his career. The green and white player, increasingly a reference for the fans, scored and assisted again in the last match against Alverca.

The goal and assist in the Sporting - Alverca match brought Pedro Gonçalves' total goal contributions to 14 this season, in 15 matches played by the versatile midfielder so far. Pote is performing like never before, with an average of 0.93 contributions per game - and he even responded to critics recently.

Additionally, Pedro Gonçalves is currently the top scorer of the Sporting team, alongside Luis Suárez, the lions' striker. He has scored eight goals so far, which gives him this status, ahead of Trincão, Ioannidis, and Quenda.

The numbers don't stop there. Pedro Gonçalves was a starter in the 10 matches played by Sporting in the Liga Portugal Betclic, where he scored seven goals and made five more assists - 12 goal contributions, an incredible average of 1.2 participations per game since the start of the national championship in 2025/26. Considering the 25 goals scored by the lions so far, Pote directly participated in 56%.

After a very challenging season, where he was out for more than half of it, Pedro Gonçalves has reemerged. According to the newspaper A Bola, two factors have greatly contributed to this: the birth of his twins in July and the contract renewal with Sporting, until 2030, recently announced.
