The Balon D’Or ceremony was begun, and the first award has been given to 19-year Pedri. The young Barcelona midfielder has been awarded the Kopa Trophy, which is given to the best u-21 player in the calendar year. It was undeniable that any other youngster would be the running contender for the award.
Why Pedri Was Number 1
Despite there being impressive seasons for young players like Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka, Pedri was miles ahead them. The biggest factor that helped Pedri stick out from the rest was his ability to adapt quickly. He was brought to F.C. Barcelona in the summer of 2020 as a player for the future. But in a turn of events, the Spanish midfielder quickly became a regular, which saw him play 52 games for ‘los Blaugranas’.
His impressive performances saw him get called up for the Spanish national team and eventually play in both the Olympics and the Euros this past summer. Nevertheless, the Spanish midfielder’s restlessness and performances saw him turn into the most promising player.
