Pedri Says He Wants to Win Champions League With Barcelona Over Ballon d’Or
On the eve of the 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris, Barcelona’s midfield star Pedri has made it clear where his priorities lie. For him, team glory comes before personal accolades.
The Spanish international, who is among the leading contenders for this year’s award, said he would rather lift the UEFA Champions League with Barcelona than take home football’s most prestigious individual honor.
“The Ballon d’Or? I would rather win the Champions League with Barcelona,” Pedri said in an interview. “I’ve never placed much value on individual trophies. What really matters to me is my team winning games and making our fans proud.”
Pedri’s outstanding form for both Barcelona and Spain has earned him a spot on the shortlist for the 2025 Ballon d’Or, where he will go head-to-head with players like Ousmane Dembele, Lamine Yamal, Kylian Mbappe, Mohamed Salah, Vitinha, and Raphinha.
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League this season.
The club had been leading the title race but suffered two consecutive losses, shaking fans’ confidence and raising doubts about their consistency.
Carragher admitted that while Arsenal have been impressive overall, the recent losses were disappointing.
“It was a big result for Arsenal but it wasn’t a great performance. The real question is: if they play like that for the rest of the season, will they win the league? We’ll see.”
