Szczesny: It is difficult to find a better midfielder than Pedri in Europe this season

"It is difficult to find a better midfielder than Pedri in Europe this season," Wojciech Szczęsny said in his latest interview.

"Pedri has exceptional control over what happens on the pitch, both technically and physically.

"He's a player who completely controls the pace of the game; he knows when to go forward, when to drop back, when to slow down the game and when to speed it up," Szczesny adds.

Szczesny tells no lies. Pedri's immaculate playing style, tenacity and technicality are why Barcelona have been so hard to beat this season.

There are many who believe Pedri should be mentioned in Ballon d'Or conversations this year.

Pedri causes confusion with cryptic message despite Barcelona contract until 2030: 'I do not rule out returning to the market'
