Pedri's perfect footballer

As announced recently, Barça’s young star Pedri González has been nominated for the Laureus World Sports Awards in the Breakthrough of the Year category, along with Neeraj Chopra (athletics), Daniil Medvedev (tennis), Emma Raducanu (tennis), Ariarne Titmus (tennis) and FC Barcelona’s own Yulimar Rojas (athletics).

What’s more Alexia is in the running for Sportswoman of the year and the women’s football team for Team of the Year.

Laureus has been putting together different videos in the build-up to the event, and when asked to put together the perfect footballer, he cites the speed of Mbappé, the left foot of Leo Messi, the right foot of his hero Andrés Iniesta, and the dribbling skills of Ronaldinho.

He also throws into mix the heading skills of Carles Puyol, Messi’s shot and the passing of Xavi Hernández. Want to know more? Watch the video to see!
