He said, according to Fabrizio on X, “Pedri is currently the best there is in that position in my eyes. Pedri, in general, is a player who you'll miss when he is not playing, no matter against whom.
“He not only scores goals, he doesn't only assists goals. He gives you solutions. I had a look at what Pedri is doing this season, and in the Champions League alone, he outplays 52 opponents per game.

“In La Liga, it's even more extreme, he overplays 59 opponents per game! He beats 11-12 defenders per game, which is the most difficult thing for a midfielder. He is the best. And if you're missing a player like that, you will notice it!.”
