The Story of Pedri

Pedro González López (born 25 November 2002), known as Pedri, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for La Liga club Barcelona and the Spain national team.

Pedri spent his childhood in Tegueste with his brother. Since childhood, their parents respected their brothers' love for football, and as a result, the two brothers developed an unfathomable interest in football from an early age.

Pedri’s grandfather is the founder of FC Barcelona’s supporter club in their hometown of Tegueste. 

At the age of 13, a successful trial led him to join Juventud Laguna's youth team. There, he worked hard to hone his skills. Thanks to his amazing progress, he joined the youth team of UD Las Palmas in the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands. He joined the first team in July 2019 after playing for a few months. Soon, the elite attacking midfielder broke the record for becoming Las Palmas' youngest goalscorer at 16 years, 9 months and 23 days. He was also gradually seen by scouts and had better opportunities.In 2018, Pedri joined CF Juventud Laguna.

On July 15, 2019, Pedri finally signed a professional contract with the club. On August 18, 2019, he made his official debut. On September 19, Pedri scored his first goal. In addition, he reached an agreement with Barcelona on September 2, 2019. On 17 April 2021, Pedri won the first trophy of his senior career after Barcelona beat Athletic 4–0 in the Copa del Rey final. On 22 November 2021, Pedri won the Golden Boy award presented by Tuttosport for being the best player in European football under the age of 21. The following week he also received the 2021 Kopa Trophy, awarded by France Football, for being the best performing player in world football under the age of 21. On 15 January, Pedri made his debut in the Spanish Super Cup final, where his team eventually lost 1-4 to Real Madrid and finished as runners-up. In 2024, Pedri scored one goal in an October La Liga match and was eventually elected La Liga's U23 Player of the Month for October.

In March 2021, the midfielder made his first call-up to the Spanish senior team ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying group stage. And, he managed to make his senior team debut on March 25, 2021. Pedri also became the youngest to represent Spain in the final of the European Championships.

Pedri was called up to Spain's UEFA Euro 2024 squad despite not having been featured in the national side since the World Cup due to prolonged injury issues. He scored his first senior international goals in a friendly against Northern Ireland on 8 June 2024, contributing with a brace to a 5–1 win. Pedri started in Spain's opening match against Croatia, assisting the second goal in a 3–0 win to Fabián Ruiz; he also started in the following group stage match, a 1–0 win over Italy, and the round of 16 4–1 victory over Georgia. In the quarter-final clash with Germany, Pedri left the field in the eighth minute after being fouled by Toni Kroos, with what was later diagnosed as an inner ligament stretch of the knee; Dani Olmo replaced him in the match and the rest of the tournament, as Spain went on to be crowned champions.
