A member of the midfield ranks at La Liga champions Barcelona has secured for himself a place in the statistical World Cup Team of the Week.
The Blaugrana star in question? Pedri.
Youngster Pedri was for his part in from the off on Monday, as Spain kicked the country’s World Cup campaign into gear in a meeting with African minnows Cabo Verde.
When all was said and done, Luis de la Fuente’s troops were forced to settle for a disappointing share of the spoils, owing to a goalless stalemate.
Despite La Roja’s collective struggles, though, the aforementioned Pedri continued to shine bright.
From his berth in the middle of the park, the 23-year-old was at the heart of almost everything positive produced by the Spanish, linking play with typical class and poise.
As much culminated in a 9.0 match rating with statisticians SofaScore, enough for Pedri to join the likes of Lionel Messi and Folarin Balogun in the World Cup Team of the Week:
