The 18-year-old midfielder was one of La Roja's best players in the Euro 2020 semi-final against Italy
Pedri has drawn the adoration of Spain supporters for his passing performance on Tuesday in the Euro 2020 semi-final against Italy.
The 18-year-old, who became the youngest player to ever start a match at this point in the competition, completed all 55 of his pass attempts in regular time. They weren’t simple balls, either, and on one occasion in the first half he played Mikel Oyarbazal through on goal, though the forward botched his first touch.
Pedri's breakout year has seen him get regular minutes at Barcelona and be selected to compete in the Olympics later this summer. His head coach Luis Enrique even compared him favourably with Andreas Iniesta - one of the highest compliments that can be paid to a young Spaniard.
