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. Right now, he’s the best in the world in his position.” Under coach Hansi Flick, Pedri has featured in 54 games so far, with six goals and seven assists to his name—solid numbers that don’t even fully reflect his impact on the pitch.
