Brazil World Cup Squad: Watch How Pedro Guilherme Proposed to His Girlfriend After Making It to Tite’s Squad

• Brazil striker Pedro proposed to his girlfriend after learning that he would be part of the Brazil squad that would be going to the World Cup
• Pedro made the cut alongside Gabriel Jesus and Richarlison, but Liverpool's Roberto Firmino missed out
• The striker was one of the hottest prospects in Europe in 2018 before an ACL injury curtailed him, but he is making his way back

Flamengo striker Pedro Guilherme was beyond himself with joy after he learnt that he would be part of the Brazil squad that will play at the FIFA World Cup.

Head Coach Tite revealed his 26-man final list as he looks to guide the Selecao to their sixth crown. Pedro, in turn, celebrated by proposing to his girlfriend, Fernanda Nogueira.

Pedro was chosen ahead of Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino and will now be expected to supplement Gabriel Jesus and Richarlison in Qatar. Brazil face Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon in Group G.

The 25-year-old plies his trade with Flamengo, where he recently guided them to Copa Libertadores glory. He scored 29 goals to convince Tite he needed to be on the plane to Qatar.

As soon as Tite read his name, he went down on his knee and proposed with a diamond ring, as Daily Star reports.

After proposing, he said:

"God is so good, so grateful to God for having this woman in my life. Thank you for making me grow in every area most especially as a man of God. A new stage in our lives, may God continue to bless and protect us."

Pedro's rise to the national team has been full of challenges. In 2018, he was close to joining Real Madrid and getting his first call-up. But an anterior cruciate ligament injury saw both dreams crumble. He had a botched spell at Fiorentina before returning to his native country.
