Barcelona midfielder Pedri has highlighted one thing he loves about Manchester City.
The 20-year-old recently ended his latest season with the Spanish club, scoring six goals across the 26 appearances he made throughout their La Liga-winning campaign.
With the season now over, the midfielder has been on media duties has shared his thoughts about one particular aspect about City he admires, and it’s not Pep Guardiola.
Pedri hails City’s stadium
Speaking in a recent quickfire Q&A with Reboots, Pedri named the Etihad Stadium as his favourite football stadium apart from the Camp Nou.
Bearing in mind how the youngster hasn’t played in a game against City, let alone at the Etihad, as he was an unused substitute for the 3-3 friendly between them and Barcelona at the Camp Nou back in August, it’s interesting to hear that he has a lot of admiration for City’s home stadium.
The Spaniard’s latest La Liga campaign with Barcelona saw him rack up the third-highest total of key passes (42) in the squad and the second-highest total of carries into the final third of the pitch (81).
This showcases how important the 20-year-old is in terms of being an attacking figure from the middle of the pitch.
Having also ended the campaign as the second-highest rated player currently at the club with an overall performance rating of 7.2/10 from WhoScored, this backs up why Xavi described the midfielder as a “spectacular” player.
With all of that in mind, it could be worth City making a move to try and give Pedri the chance to play at his favourite stadium outside of the Camp Nou in the future.
