Neymar described Pedri as the key to Barcelona’s success this season, praising his outstanding ability to emerge from pressure situations with ease, as well as his remarkable playmaking prowess. Most importantly, however, Pedri has made the most interceptions in Europe this season, reflecting his significant defensive impact.
Neymar added, “Everyone talks about Yamal, Rafinha, and Lewandowski, but Pedri is the one who leads the team in every aspect of the game.
