8 - Pedri

Pedri needs to be more selfish and score more goals for him to get ranked past Iniesta. And being able to score goals is quite important in this sport lol.

Maybe he isn't quite there yet but for one thing I'm sure. If you could have subbed in current Pedri for Iniesta, the team wouldn't have looked any worse back then.

What a stupid take sorry. Iniesta has 0,105 goals per game, pedri has 0,124 per game.
If he wants to get ranked above iniester he has to win WC and CL.

In football titles are important and more it is important to shine in an Title winning season.
But in terms of qualities they are different, iniester had more 1v1 quality, but he was not as good as in defending

Yeah you used the worst player for that comparison. Iniesta did score when it mattered though...

Pedri is the best midfield player of this generation but probably won't come close to Iniesta or Xavi.

Well excuse me then, I remember Iniesta being a lot more involved in scoring than he actually was.

So then let me ask you, what the fuck did Xavi and Iniesta do on the field that Pedri isn't already doing, other than playing with massively better teammates and prime Messi next to you? Like I said, you could absolutely switch Pedri for Iniesta or Xavi and you would see nothing change for the worse.

And no, don't come at me with "he needs UCL trophy to be even discussion with these two". If UCL trophy was some kind of measurement for greatness, Vini Jr would among the finest wingers this sport has seen and Christine Ronaldo would be better footballer than Messi. Sometimes you just gotta trust to the eye test when evaluating players.

It will take a lot more consistency before we can say he is even close to either Xavi or Iniesta. Many elite, world class seasons at the top such as last one

This is the key. As for ability, no he is not too far away. These are all footballers that can do practically anything with the ball, almost flawless in possesion, with extreme game intelligence. I don't understand when people say the gap between such players is so big. They are the absolute top of football ability

How good you are is a measure of how much you can do and how much you actually did. At this very moment, Pedri didn't do much in his career. That will inevitably change, we'll see to what extent. I think when he retires he will be up there with these 2

I agree that Pedri needs to score some key goals. Iniesta was not a prolific scorer, but he has several goals and assists in key moments. A bit like Zidane. Pedri is not at this level in big games yet, but he is young still.

This thinking is just because iniesta scored the most important goal what a footballer can score. Every time i think of him scoring, i see the goal in wc2010.
But iniesta was more of a CAM, pedri is controlling CDM, he must not score to show he is as good as iniesta.

I think pedri prime is better than xavi prime but not iniesta prime but he is young, he can get better than both
