Yves Bissouma Left in Awe by Pedri’s Preseason Brilliance: An Encounter with a Future Midfield Maestro

Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma found himself starstruck after a preseason encounter with Barcelona, particularly when facing the gifted midfielder Pedri.

“When we played against Barca [in preseason], I was shocked, bro… they had all these talented players, De Jong, Gavi… when they had the ball, I knew that if I went for it, I wanted to get it, but this guy, man, Pedri, I couldn’t keep up, left, right, right, left,” Bissouma recounted.

Remarkably, this awe-inspiring performance was only in preseason, and Bissouma suspected that Pedri wasn’t even at 100 percent. After the game, Bissouma approached Pedri and requested his shirt, acknowledging Pedri’s immense potential: “Give me your shirt because you are going to be one of the best midfielders in the world,” Bissouma declared.

Pedri’s exceptional skills left an experienced Premier League midfielder stunned, and his preseason showing was nothing short of extraordinary. The game ended with Barcelona emerging triumphant with a 4-2 scoreline, despite Spurs initially taking a two-goal lead.
