According to reports, Pedri has no limits in his game. He is currently at his peak—not just with the ball, but also without it. Everyone knows how good he is,” said Hansi Flick after the match against Mallorca.

The quality of this player is now globally recognized. “Watching Pedri on TV is enjoyable, but facing him on the pitch is painful. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a midfielder like him. He operates at a much higher level,” admitted Arrasate after last week’s La Liga match.

This Spanish international midfielder, who has been named Man of the Match in numerous games and was voted La Liga’s Player of the Month in April, will be a key figure in the Copa del Rey final—a match that could bring another club trophy for this Canary Islands-born player.

Pedri, whose transfer to Real Madrid was rejected years ago because they believed he wasn’t good enough, is now the player who orchestrates Barcelona’s play, the one who directs and organizes it. He is an irreplaceable starter and one of Hansi Flick’s fixed choices in the double-pivot system.

He will play his 295th match for Barça at La Cartuja Stadium. This season, he has played in 51 matches across all competitions: missing only one game due to gastroenteritis against Valencia in La Liga. He has scored five goals and provided seven assists.

His talent is one of the keys to Barcelona’s success, a team now chasing a treble after winning the Spanish Super Cup. This midfielder finds the right lines and delivers passes no one else can. He operates with precision in team setups, especially in the final third, creating numerous chances.

He is also highly committed defensively: He plays a decisive role in recoveries. He is one of the kings of dribbling in La Liga… His current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €120 million.

An Outstanding 2025

His brilliant performances in 2025 have earned him Man of the Match awards in 10 games. The start of the year has been exceptional for him. In October, he was named the best U23 player. In La Liga, he was named Man of the Match against Mallorca, Osasuna, Rayo Vallecano, Sevilla, Getafe, and Atlético Madrid, as well as in both Champions League matches against Benfica and the Copa del Rey semifinal first leg against Simeone’s team.

Some of His Titles

The 22-year-old joined Barça in the summer of 2020 after signing a contract a year earlier but spending a season on loan at Las Palmas. He has won four titles with Barcelona so far: the 2020-21 Copa del Rey, the 2022-23 and 2024-25 Spanish Super Cups, and the 2022-23 La Liga.

This Sunday in Seville, Pedri will strive to lift his fifth trophy with Barcelona, a club he is contracted to until July 2030.
