8 - Pedri

[fergus90]

At what he does, yes. He is very good and very hyped but as JamDav said, not the same class

He's done well this season for sure but last few weeks he has started to tire. Already played 1000 minutes more than he did the season prior though so to be expected I guess.

 

[JamDav1982]

Even Liverpool fans are starting to say jumped the gun with 'best in world' and he isnt close.

 

[vegitot]

Pure elegance.

 

[jamrock]

Comparing Gravenberch are any other Midfielder that's not like the rodri's, KDB and those generations of players to a fit and on form pedri.

Is just a joke.

 

[JamDav1982]

I swear every game he has a couple moments like today when juggling ball in almost unctontrolled looking way and emerges away from opposition.

He is so good looks like players are second guessing how to even tackle him and he takes advantage of any pause in that defending and kills them for it.

He is world class deeper and controlling game. Very good AM but far too restricted.

Best ball control in Europe imo.

He is soooo goood damn, he had always the talent and passion but now he is easily top5 player in the world. Having him in midfield is literally a cheat code 💯🔥

 

[serghei]

Most in form Barca player in 2025 for me. Above anyone in the front three.

 

[jamrock]

I still laugh when fans were saying Spain got lucky when he picked up a injury at the euros.

It's like they aren't familiar with a fit pedri's game.

The fickleness of fans always amazes me.

Well, Olmo is better than Pedri at 10 (for the 3 matches a year he starts). Hope every coach now sees Pedri should never be played that high.

 

[jamrock]

Olmo isn't better than Pedri at anything.

Pedri is better than olmo by a fair distance CM, so olmo will always play AM

 

[MonteCuler]

Next league game at his home in Las Palmas, first time he plays there as Barca player

 

[JamDav1982]

Olmo isn't better than Pedri at anything.

Better finisher and driving on with the ball and also stronger if taking ball with back to goal and having to hold it.

Pedri was good at Euros but wouldnt say he was better than Olmo in minutes both got.

Would have a fit Olmo over Pedri at AM but Pedri is good there just not his best role.

I would go so far as to say olmo was better.

But the ridiculous argument by some that Spain were lucky a player the caliber of Pedri got injured in the euros was just over the top.

Spain would have very likely won it just the same with Pedri starting at 10.

It was just their year. they were better than everyone else even when Pedri started.

 

[JamDav1982]

Pedri was very good.. probably poor finishing but he created a lot and worked hard.

Spain got weaker when he got injured not lucky but still managed to win.

I would have Olmo as better AM there due to fact Morata was not most reliable for goals and Olmo got 5 goals/assists in little over 5x 90 min game and at important times.

Pedri would be the best AM at any other side probably though so to make out got lucky is bit bizarre.
