Toni Kroos Says Pedri Is More Valuable to Barça Than Lewandowski and Yamal
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.
Kylian Mbappé has named former Spanish international Sergio Ramos as his ideal captain, calling him a natural-born leader. In an interview with Canal Plus, the French forward praised Ramos for his commanding presence and influence both on and off the pitch.
“My dream captain? Sergio Ramos,” Mbappé said. “He was born to lead. Whether it’s in the dressing room or on the field, his presence speaks for itself. Even without the armband, it feels like the armband chooses him.”
Mbappé and Ramos shared two seasons together at Paris Saint-Germain, appearing in 51 matches as teammates. The connection between the two clearly left a mark on the 25-year-old striker. Ramos eventually returned to La Liga with Sevilla after leaving PSG. As for Mbappé, he made headlines by joining Real Madrid in 2024 after choosing not to renew his contract with PSG, leaving on a free transfer.
Former Cameroonian player, Geremi Njitap claims that Inter Miami has no chance of winning the FIFA World Cup this season.
The former player shared that despite Lionel Messi being on the team, there is no chance of winning the FIFA cup, he also added that Messi has passed his prime.
“Lionel Messi is no longer young, he is going to come up against great clubs who have great players in the peak of their careers. Does he have a chance of winning it? I don’t think so.”
Ex Chelsea Striker, Tore Andre Flo praises the club for their recent decision on signing in AC Milan goalkeeper, Mike Maignan.
The former striker explained the decision as a smart move on Chelsea’s part and highlighted how strong the team’s defense will become.
“It sounds like a good signing to me. A club like Chelsea would improve the squad straight away if there was any doubt [over Robert Sanchez]. To me it sounds very, very smart.”
