Toni Kroos Says Pedri Is More Valuable to Barça Than Lewandowski and Yamal
Former Real Madrid star Toni Kroos believes Pedri is the most valuable player in Barcelona’s squad right now, even more than the likes of Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, and Raphinha. Despite the trio combining for 86 goals this season and helping push Barça toward a possible treble, Kroos insists Pedri’s influence runs deeper.
Speaking on his podcast Einfach mal Luppen, Kroos said, “Players like Yamal, Raphinha, and Lewandowski might be the ones scoring and deciding matches, but for me, Pedri is the most important. Right now, he’s the best in the world in his position.” Under coach Hansi Flick, Pedri has featured in 54 games so far, with six goals and seven assists to his name—solid numbers that don’t even fully reflect his impact on the pitch.

Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, is expected to be at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos on Saturday, June 28, to watch the President Federation Cup final between Kwara United and Abakaliki FC.
The match presents a scouting opportunity for Chelle as he continues his search for fresh talent ahead of the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN), which is exclusive to players active in their home leagues.
Last month, the Malian coach included 10 home-based players in Nigeria’s squad for the Unity Cup in London, showing his growing interest in the local scene. Nigeria has been drawn into Group D alongside Congo, Sudan, and Equatorial Guinea for the upcoming CHAN, which will take place in August across Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.
Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has been hospitalized due to a severe bout of gastroenteritis. The club confirmed the news in a statement released on Thursday, noting that the French captain was taken in for medical tests after his condition worsened.
Because of this, Mbappe will be unavailable for Real Madrid’s upcoming FIFA Club World Cup clash against Pachuca on Sunday. He also missed their 1-1 draw with Al Hilal earlier in the week. At 26, the former PSG star will be aiming to bounce back quickly as he looks to return to action at the ongoing FIFA World Cup in the U.S.
