Pedro Picks Pedri for Ballon d’Or Says He Deserves It More Than Yamal and Dembele
Lazio winger Pedro has made it clear who he’s backing for the 2025 Ballon d’Or, and it’s not Lamine Yamal or Ousmane Dembele. The former Chelsea forward believes Barcelona’s Pedri deserves the top honour, saying he would give him full marks to win the prestigious award ahead of other contenders.
Pedri has been outstanding for Barcelona this season, cementing his place as one of the leading names in the race for the Ballon d’Or. The Spanish midfielder will be up against big names like Dembele, Yamal, Raphinha, Mohamed Salah, and others.
When asked about his choice, Pedro told El Día de Tenerife he has no doubts. “For me, Pedri deserves the maximum score,” Pedro said. “Lamine Yamal is also there, and of course players like Dembele or Raphinha, but I’d love to see Pedri win it. “He’s the best in the world in his position.”
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
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.”
