Barcelona star the latest to label teammate ‘maybe the best midfielder in the world’ | OneFootball

Barcelona star Gavi on Tuesday night made use of the opportunity to heap fresh praise on teammate and close friend Pedri.

This comes with the latter fresh off another sensational individual performance.

Barcelona marked their return to action yesterday evening, welcoming RCD Mallorca to Catalunya’s capital for a La Liga showdown.

The aforementioned Pedri for his part featured from the off in the fixture, from his customary berth in the middle of the park.

And, en route to an eventual 1-0 Blaugrana triumph, the 22-year-old was in frankly irresistible form.

Pedri lit up Montjuïc courtesy of a complete repertoire of touch, dribbling, vision, passing, work rate and tackling.

As much only served in adding to what has been a stellar season all told for the Spanish international, a key driving force in Barca’s ongoing treble pursiot.

And one individual on whom such brilliance has not been at all lost is teammate and midfield partner Gavi.

Drawn on Pedri’s latest Man of the Match showing against Mallorca on the back of the full-time whistle on Tuesday, Gavi gushed:

“For me Pedri is one of, if not the best midfielder in the world. It’s a luxury to play with him.”
