: "Every time I watch Pedri, I see a 19-year-old lad who some 30+ should be watching his clips all night. To talk about his vision & ability to find spaces to receive the ball is the stuff of a Ballon d'Or winner. 

"I wasn't expecting to see Iniesta's reincarnation so fast."

 "Pedri is just like Iniesta, they don’t normally score but if they do it’s decisive and a stunner."

: "We’ve had Iniesta and now we have Pedri. We’re incredibly lucky."

: "We are all know Pedri is Iniesta’s reincarnation, herr baller"

: "Pedri filling Iniesta's shoes. This guy is Godsent!"

: "Pedri has been dropping defenders for fun lately.  What else can we ask from the new age Xavi/Iniesta?"

From legends to Madrid fans: football world in awe of Pedri after Sevilla stunner

 masterclass. The 19-year-old ran the show for the Catalans, orchestrating attacks, getting into dangerous positions and helping at the back.

Pedri scored the decisive goal, first sending two Sevilla players to the shops and then hitting the far corner with a beautiful low effort from the edge of the box.

The world of football is applauding the Barca midfielder for his incredible performance.

Football legends and journalists have tipped their hats to the youngster.

"What a goal from Pedri. Unbelievably talented young footballer," England icon

 went viral with this tweet: "Pedri isn't one of the best young players in the world. He's one of the best players in the world, full stop."

 added: "This tweet is simply to remind you that Pedri is only 19 years old.".

 fans can't deny how good Pedri is. Here are some of their takes.

: "The most common response from a Real Madrid fan when another Madridista praises Pedri is 'he wouldn’t have got a chance at Madrid.' 

"But while that’s correct, isn’t that the entire problem? The club’s over-reliance and unwillingness to move on from KCM [Kroos, Casemiro, Modric] is clearly holding us back."

: "Pedri is amazing. If only we had a manager that gave our youngsters some minutes, maybe we’d have our own Pedri smh."

 were the better side throughout the game but they significantly improved after the interval.

As we all know, it paid off as Pedri scored Barcelona's only goal of the night. 

"I understood that swapping De Jong and Pedri's position was important at the tactical level," Xavi said at a press conference after the game.

"From a tactical point of view, I understood that having three players in the middle today was not important. 

"De Jong and Pedri are amazing in a line of four, the difference being that Pedri is better between the lines, but today it was generally a match for the wings."

I like the comment that said "I didn't expect to see Iniesta's reincarnation so fast" and the comment screaming for DNA test. 😂😂😂😂

Twitter is all Fun and no dull moment.

BarcaFOREVER

Hmmm it's unbelievable but true, because we were not expecting Xavi and Iniesta kind of player just now but then a certain Pedri showed up and all of a sudden started balling like Iniesta at a very young age. I mean it's insane to even imagine that a boy who have never played for any of the Barcelona's youth teams but a common Las Pamas can rise to become the great Iniesta like of player.
