Iniesta’s clone with Leo things, by Roger Torelló

Without intending to, with the same naturalness with which he relates to the ball, Pedri He has already become the new idol of the Camp Nou. At just 19 years old, and not yet completing his second season with the Barçathe Canarian soccer player has taken the witness that he left Leo Messi to guide the team back to the path of titles. With Xavi as his main ally, the coach praises him without skimping – “he is the best pure talent in the world, he reminds me of Iniesta”, he has said of him-, at the same time that he demands that he dare more with the goal. Pedri, who is a sponge when it comes to processing advice, has already listened to his coach. In fact, in two of his four goals for Barça this season, Pedri has even dared to emulate Messi. He did it in Turkey before the Galatasaray, leaving two rival defenders seated inside the area before scoring, and he repeated it yesterday against Sevilla, this time with a shot from the edge of the box. With his humility and his football, Pedri will go where he wants.
