Xavi now has Pedri, and the circle of life at Barcelona continues.
Barcelona has never been about winning for the sake of it. Since the arrival of Cruyff as manager, and his original dream team, the focus was on how you play the game.
It seems impossible that Pedri wasn’t educated at La Masia. Instead, he is showing how the influence of the Barcelona philosophy has spread around the world.
Having stars at this club isn’t enough. For Barcelona, you need a team that can dominate the ball together. For that to work, you need a midfielder who embodies the ethos.
