Legendary Premier League manager hails Barcelona maestro – ‘Everything he does is incredible’ | OneFootball

Arsene Wenger, the former Arsenal manager and now FIFA’s Chief of Global Football Development, has publicly praised Barcelona midfielder Pedri, calling everything he does “incredible.”

The Frenchman was left amazed by the youngster’s performance during the Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan, even though Barcelona were eliminated from the tournament.

At just 22 years old, Pedri continues to win admiration from some of football’s biggest names. Despite Barcelona’s recent ups and downs, Pedri’s class and maturity on the pitch remain a highlight of the season.

Wenger, speaking to Bein Sports (h/t Mundo Deportivo), singled out the Spaniard, saying: “Now we only talk about Yamal, but I would single out Pedri. For me, Pedri is absolutely incredible. I’m on my knees for him.”

Wenger, who has worked with and seen some of the best midfielders in modern football, believes Pedri has something special. “The science of the midfield is in Pedri’s legs and brain, and everything he does is incredible,” he said.

Coming from someone who helped develop the likes of Cesc Fabregas and Jack Wilshere, this praise carries real weight.

Pedri is becoming a symbol of the new Barcelona under Hansi Flick. His calmness, intelligence, and ability to control the tempo of a game stand out in every match he plays.

Just days ago, Real Madrid veteran Toni Kroos also called Pedri “the best midfielder right now,” showing how respected he is even among rivals.

With legends like Wenger and Kroos acknowledging his talent, Pedri’s status in world football continues to rise. Barcelona fans can feel confident that their number 8 is not just one of the best in Spain, but one of the very best in the world.
