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.
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Former footballer Zlatan Ibrahimović speaks on the FIFA World Cup and states which African team countries should watch out for.
During a recent interview, the former player shared that Ivory Coast should be one of the teams to look out for.
“They can be dangerous. It is a very good team. They lost against Germany, but that game could have been a draw or even a win.
“So, it’s not like they came out of the group with one loss because of a bad game against Germany. They played a good game against Germany and could easily have gotten a point against them.”
