This subject is so important that we must start with the basics. His workaday name is Pedri. He plays in midfield for Barcelona and Spain. His full name is Pedro González López. He turned 18 in November.
Now, ladies and gentlemen: I'm going to construct a case that we are watching the blossoming of one of the world's great talents. Whether that is of modern times or "all-time" is largely up to him. That's how good he is.
When Pedri is on the ball, angels sing. Then they put down their harps and sheet music and just stare, in awe.
