Kroos Says Pedri is the Best Midfielder in the World Right Now
Toni Kroos, the former Germany midfielder, has praised Barcelona’s Pedri as the best player in his position right now. Despite his history with Real Madrid, Kroos didn’t hesitate to compliment the Catalan star, highlighting Pedri’s ability to score goals, provide assists, and offer creative solutions on the field.
“Pedri is the best in his role at the moment,” Kroos said. “He’s a player you miss when he’s not playing, no matter who you’re up against. He doesn’t just score or assist—he gives you options.”
Kroos also shared some impressive stats about Pedri’s performances this season. In the Champions League, Pedri averages 52 successful dribbles per game, and in La Liga, that number jumps to 59, where he regularly beats 11 to 12 defenders each match. “That’s the toughest thing for a midfielder to do,” Kroos added. “He’s the best, and when he’s missing, you really feel it.”
Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero has taken a light jab at Cristiano Ronaldo while praising Lionel Messi as one of the best players in football history. Speaking with talkSPORT, the former Argentina striker highlighted Messi’s impact at Inter Miami, saying the club had little to celebrate before the 8-time Ballon d’Or winner joined.
Aguero said, “It’s a big deal for Inter Miami, especially with Leo there. Even if it hurts some Ronaldo fans, Messi is one of those players everyone wants to watch.”
He pointed out that since Messi arrived, Inter Miami has lifted trophies they had never won before, including the MLS title in 2023 and the Supporters’ Shield in 2024. In contrast, Ronaldo, who plays for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, has only managed to win the Arab Club Champions Cup since joining the team.
Former Atalanta striker Germán Denis has advised Ademola Lookman to consider a move to Napoli this summer. Denis believes the Nigerian forward would be a strong addition to the Serie A champions, praising his progress and current form.
“Lookman has grown a lot. He’s now a game-changer and would be a perfect fit for Napoli,” Denis said in an interview with Radio Goal, as shared by Napoli Magazine.
Lookman, who joined Atalanta from RB Leipzig in 2022, has been linked with a possible transfer this summer. The 27-year-old played a key role in helping Atalanta lift the 2024 UEFA Europa League trophy.
Kylian Mbappé has named former Spanish international Sergio Ramos as his ideal captain, calling him a natural-born leader. In an interview with Canal Plus, the French forward praised Ramos for his commanding presence and influence both on and off the pitch.
“My dream captain? Sergio Ramos,” Mbappé said. “He was born to lead. Whether it’s in the dressing room or on the field, his presence speaks for itself. Even without the armband, it feels like the armband chooses him.”
Mbappé and Ramos shared two seasons together at Paris Saint-Germain, appearing in 51 matches as teammates. The connection between the two clearly left a mark on the 25-year-old striker. Ramos eventually returned to La Liga with Sevilla after leaving PSG. As for Mbappé, he made headlines by joining Real Madrid in 2024 after choosing not to renew his contract with PSG, leaving on a free transfer.
