One Barcelona star has the most touches, passes & recoveries in Top-5 leagues

A member of the midfield ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona leads all players in Europe’s top-5 leagues in four altogether noteworthy statistical categories.

The player in question? Pedri.

Youngster Pedri is for his part of course fresh off another starring display in Barcelona colours over the weekend.

Afforded a starting berth in the Blaugrana’s league meeting with Real Sociedad, the 22-year-old shone in all aspects of the game, en route to Man of the Match honours.

This only added further to what has been nothing short of a spectacular opening to the term on Pedri’s part.

And as alluded to above, on Monday, a round of statistics, highlighting just how impressive the recent form of the Spanish international has been, has come to the fore online.

As revealed across La Liga’s social media channels, Pedri currently leads all players in the top-5 European leagues in the following categories:

  • Touches
  • Accurate passes
  • Passes into the final third
  • Ball recoveries
