"Toni Kroos Hails Pedri as the Best Midfielder in the World Right Now"
In a rare and admirable moment of sporting honesty, former German international and Real Madrid legend, Toni Kroos, has publicly declared Barcelona’s Pedri as “the best there is” in his position at the moment — a compliment that has sparked excitement across the football world.
Despite having donned the white shirt of Real Madrid for many successful years, Kroos had no hesitation in praising the Catalan midfield magician. Speaking with passion and admiration, Kroos described Pedri as a game-changer, highlighting his ability to not just create and score goals, but to provide intelligent solutions in tight spaces.
“He is the best,” Kroos said. “Pedri, in general, is a player who you’ll miss when he is not playing, no matter against whom. He gives you solutions.”
Kroos went on to mention some staggering stats:
In the Champions League, Pedri outplays an average of 52 opponents per game.
In La Liga, the number rises to 59 per game, with 11–12 defenders being beaten per match — a statistic that is almost surreal for a midfielder.
Such recognition from a player of Kroos' caliber isn’t just an endorsement — it’s a passing of the torch. And fans across the globe are beginning to realize that Pedri isn’t just a “young talent” anymore. He’s already among the elite.
