Barcelona star Pedri has late this week moved to reveal his appreciation for the talents of two members of the first-team ranks at arch rivals Real Madrid.
Barcelona are of course fresh off a season which saw them dominate Carlo Ancelotti’s Real on all fronts.
Across four meetings in all competitions, the Blaugrana emerged triumphant each time, en route to clinching a domestic treble.
As alluded to above, though, this did not stop several members of Los Blancos’ squad from making an altogether positive impression on the aforementioned Pedri.
Speaking during an interview with France Football this week, Barca’s midfield starlet was drawn on the standout players on the other side of the Clásico divide.
And, in quotes relaid by Mundo Deportivo, Pedri went on to highlight two names in particular:
“Real Madrid have a lot of very good players. When Kylian Mbappé has the ball and is in a one-on-one, it is very difficult to stop him. And Jude Bellingham is really incredible. He combines physical strength with technical ability, which makes facing him extremely difficult.”
