Xavi has asserted that Barcelona’s midfielder Pedri is already the top player in the world within his position.

Despite a slight deflection denying Pedri a goal in the recent 4-1 victory over Valencia, Xavi showered him with praise, emphasizing the 19-year-old’s exceptional talent.

According to the manager, Pedri’s abilities, including his turns, spatial awareness, and ambidextrous skills, make him a standout player.

Xavi expressed amazement at having Pedri in the team and emphasized the need to take care of such a remarkable talent.

Despite a challenging start to the season due to injuries, Pedri has been making a significant impact, scoring three goals since his return.

Xavi believes that, at his age, Pedri may already be the best in the world in his position. Pedri is expected to play a crucial role in Barcelona’s upcoming Europa League match against Napoli, following a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their last-16 tie.
