After Hansi Flick bagged the La Liga Coach of the Month honour for October, FC Barcelona midfield mainstay Pedri has now been named the U23 Player of the Month.
Pedri has been around the team for more than four years now and has firmly established himself as a world-class midfielder – one of the best in his position.
So, at times, it is easy to forget that the midfield gem is still 21 years old, given the quality and maturity he oozes on the pitch.
Barcelona have enjoyed a perfect month in October – winning each of their three La Liga matches against Alaves, Sevilla, and more recently the Clasico vs Real Madrid.
And, Pedri played a crucial role in each of those matches, especially with his display against Real Madrid and Bayern Munich (Champions League) being no short of a masterclass. The young midfielder also scored a goal in the 5-1 rout of Sevilla.
Pura magia. 🎩

So, it does not come as a surprise to see the 21-year-old Spanish international walking away with the La Liga U23 Player of the Month for October.
Pedri defeated Real Madrid’s Eduardo Camavinga, Vitor Roque (Real Betis, on loan from Barcelona), Luka Sucic (Real Sociedad), and Pablo Barrios (Atletico Madrid) to the prize.
After a frustrating season filled with injuries last time out, Pedri is showcasing his best level once again. And Hansi Flick and Barcelona will be hoping that he continues in the same vein of form for the rest of the season.
