Barcelona star names teammate as part of his all-time Blaugrana XI | OneFootball

Barcelona youngster Marc Bernal reserved a place in his XI of the greatest players in the club’s storied history for a current member of Hansi Flick’s midfield ranks.

The player in question? Pedri.

Midfielder Pedri is for his part of course fresh off something of a bounce-back season in Catalunya’s capital.

At last putting his long-standing injury woes in the rear view mirror, the 22-year-old set about reminding any who may have forgotten of his frankly remarkable abilities.

From his berth at the base of new boss Hansi Flick’s midfield, Pedri dazzled week in and week out in 2024/25.

So impressive was the Spanish international on both sides of the ball, in fact, that many are of the opinion that it was he, and not the likes of Lamine Yamal or Raphinha, who was Barcelona’s very best player.

And as alluded to above, one individual on whom such excellence was not at all lost is teammate and midfield partner Marc Bernal.

Speaking during an interview with Barca’s official media channels this weekend, youngster Bernal – in the final stretch of his recovery from an ACL injury – was asked to name his all-time Blaugrana XI.

And the most headline-grabbing inclusion was that of Pedri, in a line-up as follows:

Víctor Valdés, Carles Puyol, Gerard Piqué, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, Xavi Hernández, Andrés Iniesta, Pedri González, Neymar Jr, Ronaldinho, Lionel Messi
