Former Barcelona player Thiago Alcantara recently revealed his dream three-man midfield during a conversation with Rio Ferdinand, placing Pedri at the top of his list.
"Pedri is the best midfielder for me in the world right now," Thiago said. "When I was a player playing with him and now as a coach, I had the same feeling I had with Andres Iniesta at that time. That plasticity in his play, always moving diagonally, and while moving, seeing what is happening around and making the right decisions."
Thiago completed his midfield trio with Paris Saint-Germain's Vitinha and Arsenal's Declan Rice.
This acknowledgment from Thiago, a notable former Barcelona star, highlights Pedri's significant role not only within the club but also in world football, emphasizing his unique technical skills and tactical intelligence.
