Pedri Says he was Shocked When he Found Out Messi Was Leaving Barcelona
Barcelona’s Pedri has opened up about the moment he discovered Lionel Messi was leaving the club, admitting the news caught him completely off guard. Messi, who rose through Barcelona’s ranks before becoming one of the greatest players in football history, departed in 2021 after the club failed to renew his contract.
Pedri, who joined from Las Palmas in 2019, shared the pitch with Messi for two seasons, racking up 47 games together. Speaking to France Football, the Spanish midfielder recalled how he would instinctively look for Messi during matches, always eager to pass him the ball because, in his words, “he was better than me.”
He said he was playing in the Olympics when he heard about Messi’s exit, finding it almost impossible to believe. Messi went on to join Paris Saint-Germain, where he lifted two Ligue 1 titles before making another headline move in 2023 to Inter Miami.
Nigerian footballer Victor Osimhen spoke about his childhood days and the difficult experiences he faced growing up.
He revealed that his mother was the breadwinner of the family and that her death deeply affected them.
“My mom was the breadwinner of the family, but she and my dad never had issues because of it.”
He shared that when his mother passed away, they not only missed her emotionally but also struggled financially without her support.
Fans related to his story and applauded how he has now risen to greatness.
It has been revealed that Ruben Amorim’s possible next step could be taking over as Benfica’s manager, replacing José Mourinho at S.L. Benfica.
It can be recalled that the manager was released from Manchester United F.C. in January and has since been seeking his next step.
He has now emerged as the top candidate to become Benfica’s new manager.
Rio Ferdinand has reacted to talks surrounding Xabi Alonso and the managerial position at Real Madrid.
It was reported that Xabi Alonso had signed a contract with the club to become their manager.
Ferdinand then shared his thoughts on the move “I’m genuinely surprised he’s taken that position. I’m not suggesting he’s the wrong choice.
“The reason I’m taken aback by his decision is that I thought he would have been patient enough to see how the Arne Slot situation at Liverpool would unfold.”
He explained that Alonso could have possibly become Liverpool manager with enough time and also spoke about Alonso’s love for the club.
