Barcelona star Pedri reveals what his mom makes him do on matchday | OneFootball

FC Barcelona have a squad blessed with world-class young talent. Despite their age, several stars are already among the best players in the world. There is no better example than Pedri, who can be called the best midfielder in the world with little doubt.

The Spaniard is probably Hansi Flick’s first name on the team sheet, and he is also one of the least rotated players in the current squad. Pedri is the engine around which the entire team operates, and when he plays well, more often than not, Barcelona win.

Pedri is currently on international duty with Spain and, in an interview with the Spanish national team’s official media, as quoted by Mundo Deportivo, he mentioned one thing his mum makes him do on matchday. He said:

This offers insight into why we almost always see a clean-shaven Pedri on the pitch. Even when he has a beard, it is hardly more than stubble, and it seems his mother is the driving force behind this look.

Pedri might look young with his clean-shaven appearance, but he plays football with a maturity that belies his years. He almost always seems one step ahead of his opponent, and he looks like Xavi and Iniesta combined into one.

Very few players in world football make people stop what they are doing and take notice. With his display against a very physical Newcastle United midfield at St James’ Park, that is exactly what the Canary Islander achieved.

Pedri is the star of this Barcelona team. He is loved and adored by fans, team-mates, and even opposition supporters, and everything points to him becoming one of the very best midfielders to have played the game by the time he calls it a day.
