Pedri dreams of winning the Ballon d’Or, inspired by Rodri’s victory. However, he is focused on winning trophies with Barcelona as the season nears its end.
WHAT PEDRI SAID AFTER COPA DEL REY WIN
After Barcelona’s Copa del Rey victory, Pedri talked about his personal and team goals. The midfielder pointed out how Rodri’s Ballon d’Or win changed views on midfielders: “Since Rodri won the Ballon d’Or, it’s clear a midfielder can win this award.” Pedri added, “I’ve always dreamed of winning it, but right now I’m focused on team trophies.”
PEDRI’S IMPACT AND BARCELONA’S SEASON SO FAR
Pedri has been in great form this season, with three goals and two assists in La Liga. He’s been named Man of the Match in 17 of his 27 games this year—more than anyone in Europe’s top leagues. His impact has helped Barcelona get back in the title race under Hansi Flick. They are second in La Liga, four points behind Real Madrid, and deep in the Champions League.
Pedri, now fully fit after injuries, is key in Barca’s midfield, leading a young squad in important games.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR PEDRI AND BARÇA?
Barcelona now face a crucial time in their season. Their next game is an important La Liga match against Girona, who are just two points behind them in third place. Both teams are fighting for automatic Champions League spots and hoping to catch Real Madrid at the top.
Meanwhile, Barca have a Champions League semi-final coming up. A good performance there could boost Pedri’s chances for individual awards. For now, Pedri is focusing on team success, hoping it will help him stay in the Ballon d’Or race later in the year.
