Barcelona manager Hansi Flick was full of praise for Pedri following the team’s commanding 5-0 victory over Valencia in the Copa del Rey.

The midfield maestro was at the heart of Barcelona’s performance, showcasing his trademark movement and composure on the ball, dictating the tempo of the game with ease. Flick didn’t hold back in his admiration for the young Spaniard, emphasising just how unique Pedri is to the team.

“I can’t say much. You can’t compare him because he’s an incomparable player,” Flick stated. “He enjoys football, and it’s nice to watch him, wherever he plays.”

The Barça boss further highlighted Pedri’s invaluable contribution to the squad, both on and off the pitch. “He helps the team a lot. And he always plays for the team. I’m happy that he’s here for a long time,” Flick added.

Pedri’s influence continues to grow under Flick’s guidance, and with performances like this, it’s clear why the manager sees him as a cornerstone of Barcelona’s present and future.
