Steve McManaman Praises Pedri as the Best in Barcelona This Season
Former Liverpool and Real Madrid star Steve McManaman has picked who he believes is Barcelona’s standout player this season.
Rather than going with the more obvious names like Raphinha or young sensation Lamine Yamal, McManaman singled out Pedri as the club’s most impressive performer.
He shared his thoughts after Barcelona’s dominant 4-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Lewandowski netted twice, with Raphinha and Yamal also on the scoresheet as Hansi Flick’s side cruised to victory.
Commenting during TNT Sports’ coverage, McManaman said, “Everyone talks about the front three—Lewandowski, Yamal, Raphinha—but for me, Pedri is their best player. He’s such a joy to watch.”
He reflected on Pedri’s journey, saying, “He came through as a teenage sensation, then had that bad injury which slowed him down. But now he’s back and playing brilliantly. I’ve always been a big admirer.”
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
