During an interview Pedri was asked about the most famous contact that he had in his phone and the No.8 of Barca named someone that reminded Culers of their time together in the Blaugrana colors.
The Magical duo, What could have been
Pedri named Leo Messi as the most famous person in his contacts which to be fair is quite the flex. The youngster shared the pitch with La Pulga in his early days at the club. The connection and chemistry between the two was telepathic as they read eachother’s movements to combine in attacks. Messi surely would have felt the same nostalgia as Culers when playing with Pedri as the duo looked similar to the Messi x Iniesta combination.
If I were to imagine Messi still at Barcelona under Flick he would have made this attack even more unstoppable than it is. Messi wouldn’t have to drop deep as much as he did in his late days at Barca and would have been able to generate attack after attack with Pedri progressing the ball up the pitch elegantly like he does. Messi would also be able to get more chances to score with Pedri’s incredible finding him just like the old days.
