Pedri Revels in Midfield Luxury: Frenkie and Gundogan, a Dynamic Duo

In a recent interview with ESPN, Pedri expressed his delight at sharing the pitch with Frenkie de Jong and Ilkay Gundogan, emphasizing the formidable strength of their midfield trio. The young Barcelona midfielder acknowledged the luxury of having two exceptional players known for their ball retention skills.

“When you give the ball to Frenkie and Gundogan, it is very difficult for them to lose it. Having these two players is a luxury,” Pedri affirmed, highlighting the confidence he places in his midfield partners.

Pedri went on to share his sentiments about playing alongside Frenkie de Jong, expressing a genuine sense of enjoyment when the Dutch maestro is by his side. He candidly admitted missing De Jong when the midfielder is absent from the lineup.

The recent game against Porto provided a glimpse of the trio’s potential, despite the midfield dynamics needing further refinement. As Barcelona prepares for a crucial clash against Atletico Madrid, all three midfield maestros are expected to feature prominently.

Injuries have kept both Pedri and De Jong out of action for parts of the season, but their return, combined with the consistent contributions of Gundogan, adds significant depth and versatility to Barcelona’s midfield. Ilkay Gundogan has already made his mark, contributing with a goal and five assists for the Blaugrana.

The prospect of witnessing Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, and Ilkay Gundogan in action together has sparked anticipation among Barcelona fans, as they look forward to the trio unlocking their full potential in the challenges that lie ahead.
