"Pedri is one of the best players in the world"

Former Barcelona player and former assistant coach to Hansi Flick Thiago Alcantara attended the Laureus Awards gala and had time to stop and answer some of the questions he was asked by the press.

The former Liverpool midfielder was asked about Pedri's great season, who is leading the midfield of a Barca side that is a candidate to win the treble at the end of the season. 

Thiago Alcantara was able to work with Pedri during the month he spent working with Flick's technical staff, from the pre-season tour of the United States to the start of La Liga. The former Spain midfielder was quick to praise the Canary Islander.

"Pedri is not only one of the best midfielders in the world. He's one of the best players, if not the best. He's having an spectacular season," he said.
