“Give Pedri the Ballon d’Or!” — Ferran Torres Makes Bold Claim About Barcelona Star’s 2025 Form

As the 2025 Ballon d’Or race begins to heat up, Barcelona forward Ferran Torres has publicly thrown his support behind a surprising—yet deserving—candidate: Pedri.

In a heartfelt interview with Mundo Deportivo, Torres praised the 22-year-old midfielder for his unwavering consistency, match-winning quality, and silent brilliance, claiming Pedri “never fails” and is showing a level of performance that is “out of the ordinary.”

“I have never had any doubts about him,” Torres said. “He’s a different player. He’s proving it this year, and I think we haven’t even seen the best of Pedri yet.”

Pedri has played a crucial role in Barcelona’s resurgence in La Liga this season, dictating the midfield with his trademark composure, vision, and ability to control the tempo under pressure.

“He performs at a spectacular level in every game. He is there whenever you need him—and even when you don’t. That’s Pedri,” added Torres.

When asked if Pedri should be Barcelona’s representative for the Ballon d’Or 2025, the former Manchester City star responded without hesitation:

“Yes, they should give it to him. The level he’s showing is just not normal.”

Opinion: A Bold Claim—But Is Pedri Really Ballon d’Or Ready?

It’s no secret that the Ballon d’Or has often favoured goal-scorers, headline-makers, and record-breakers. But in Pedri, we may be witnessing a throwback to when midfield generals like Modrić and Kaká were recognized for elevating the game through intelligence, influence, and rhythm.

While players like Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, and Erling Haaland may dominate the stats and headlines, Pedri dominates the match’s soul. He may not always be flashy—but for football purists, he’s the heart of the beautiful game.

So the question is: Will the Ballon d’Or voters value artistry over explosiveness this year? If yes, then Ferran Torres may just be speaking the truth we didn’t know we needed to hear.
