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.
