“I love this player! » – Why Santi Cazorla prefers Pedri to Lamine Yamal while the Spanish internationals shine within FC Barcelona


The 23-year-old playmaker is cut from the same wood as Spanish national team legends such as Cazorla, Cesc Fàbregas, Xavi and Andrés Iniesta. Pedri already has a European champion medal, won in 2024, and hopes to win a world title this summer at the 2026 World Cup.

Asked why he admires the Tenerife native, Cazorla told Sport : “At his age, he is already one of the best in the world. He’s a special kind of player that we all enjoy every time he plays. I think Barcelona really miss Pedri when he’s not here.

“They have fantastic players in that position, but I think Pedri brings a different touch to the team, and above all, he seems to be a very, very down-to-earth, very normal guy, and I really like that. I think the more normal someone is, the better they are as a player. I have a huge crush on Pedri, and that’s why I asked him for his jersey. »
