“pedri, who’s your top artist on this year’s spotify wrapped?” another day, another time for filming barca content. the content directors really knew the way to fans’ hearts.

laughing at the question. balde and gavi already knew his answer. smiling very suspiciously behind the camera.

“it’s been a tough year. i’ve explored many different genres of music. except, i always see myself going back to y/n’s music. something about her voice and the beats match very well.” gavi wanted to laugh at him so bad. he basically just professed his love right in front of the world. the media would enjoy this.

shutting the camera off, everyone applauded him.

“sometimes i wonder why you’re so scared of her. i mean, who wouldn’t want the pedri gonzalez.” gavi knew that pedri’s crush wasn’t gonna get better as he kept it hidden.

“one message couldn’t hurt. it’s a break or make.” balde joined into the conversation in the locker room.

to pedri, you had an unforgettable voice, face, or any type of charactistic. you were simply just unforgettable. and you knew it too, which explains why your song “unforgettable” was his number one song. he really considered reaching out.

when the video was posted, people were begging for the relationship to happen.

messages after messages were flooding your account. comments going crazy.

but there was a specific message that stood out to you. a message from an account that goes by pedri.

pedri

hey.

a simple text back wouldn’t hurt. would it?

y/n.l/n

hey!

pedri

i just wanna apologize about the interview. didn’t think it would blow up the way it did.

y/n.l/n

it’s perfectly fine! thank you so much for appreciating my work. :)

you should’ve seen his reaction to that text. he threw his phone and immediately started freaking out. the pressure was on.

pedri

i was just wondering, would you like to go out sometime?

y/n.l/n

i would love to

one fancy dinner date ended up being multiple dates. soon, it was official. articles after articles came out, but it didn’t matter.

your song dedicated to pedri went #1 on all platforms. fans noticed how your voice became stronger and the lyrics really felt heartfelt. he really brought the best out of you.

it was adorable how before you performed the song dedicated to him, he would peak his head out in any way or form to make sure it was known that he won your heart.

who knew a simple text could lead to the world’s biggest “it couple”. pedri’s confidence never went unknown. it was definitely a story to tell to your future kids.

going to sleep knowing pedri is the best midfielder in the world

Pedri via Residency - May 14, 2024

Favourite Colour? - “Blue.”

He has never worn glasses before and hopes he doesn’t have to for a while

“My day today was typical post-game: training, treatment, hyperbaric chamber and little else.”

“If you are going to Tenerife, be sure to go to Tegueste. Although the south is more touristic.”

Favourite Movies? - “Action movies”

Dream in life? - “My dream in life was to play football and play for the national team and for Barça. Now it would be to win the World Cup and the Champions League”

Advice for Lamine and Cubarsi? - “I would tell Lamine and Cubarsi to enjoy themselves and to stay calm, both in good times and in bad times.”

Favourite Subject in School? - “I didn't have many favorite subjects... Physical Education.”

Favourite Childhood Memory? - “The best memory of my childhood is the time I spent playing ball with my brother and father when I was very young.”

Barcelona or Tenerife? - “Now Barcelona, when I retire Tenerife.”

“In the future I want to have children and hopefully a family like mine. But there's still a little bit left for that because l'm 21 years old.”

Job if he wasn’t a footballer? - “If I wasn’t a football player... well, I'd probably be a firefighter or a waiter in my family's restaurant.”

He couldn’t be a goalkeeper like his dad because of his height (we know pedrito)

Croatian NT? - “Croatia has always had a great selection and one of the midfielders that I have focused on the most, which is Modric. Playing against him always teaches you things.”

“The best and most difficult decision was to leave my family and leave Tenerife to play football. Thanks to them I have come this far.”

Any pets? - “I don't have pets. Maybe in the future (Dogs)”

He had to go because dinner was ready and his family was already starting to look at him badly

fluff with pedri?? maybe dad pedri at camp nou?? 🤷‍♀️🙈

pairing pedri x f! reader

summary: you visit camp nou with your two year old son and pedri shows him how to own the pitch.

izzy‘s non-sense talk: okay, this killed me. have my child, please. i can only imagine him being such a great dad. hope you like it! and thank you for the request!

when the culers bought their tickets to the game, they expected a win from the team, they loved so dearly. what they did not plan on, was seeing a fan favorite midfielder in his most vulnerable state. on the pitch, when the minutes ticked away, pedri owned the game. dribbling out the enemies, finding the loopholes and adding assist after assist to his record.

the clear win spread happiness through camp nou, the individual players celebrated with the culers, clapping and singing the hymns they created. while most of them were occupied by the non-stopping cheering, pedri snuck away from the team to greet his two year old son, paulo. it was the first visit to camp nou, the little boy would remember. after all, he was a weekly guest when he was only a couple of months old.

pedri always tried his best to keep paulo‘s face out of the media, and hidden from the annoying photographers. this time, it was very different. the little hand disappeared in pedri‘s calloused palm, leading the two year old towards the empty goal. a football in his free hand, the midfielder wanted to show off the brilliance of his son to the culers and his mates.

paulo tried to hide himself behind his father‘s leg, the large crowds much scarier when standing in front of them than being in the middle of it. and as if the scene was planned and prepared, a couple of left over teammates started to shush the culers with their hands to allow paulo a perfect, and fearless first appearance in front of the crowds.

lewandowski has done it with his kids, showing them to the world with a proud smile plastered on his face while celebrating another win, another two goals he scored with them. but pedri has always been more protective with his son, always trying to keep foreign people far away from him.

pedri saw how much paulo imitated his father at home, trying to dribble the ball with his little feet, and outplaying you in the living room. and this time, the midfielder wanted to give his son the real chance to feel the cheering of the fans, the loud clapping and the hymn echoing through the stadium.

sharing smiles with his teammates, pedri led the little boy towards the white point in front of the goal. shooting a penalty was easier with no goalkeeper, but ter stegen immediately took his place in front of the net with a wide smile. obviously, he would not catch the ball, no matter how easy it would be.

crouching down beside his son, he whispered little hints about the goalkeeper‘s habit‘s into his ear, earning an understanding nod from paulo. „do it like pepi.“ you shouted from the sideline, clapping your hands together for your little everything. a small exemplar of pedro, the hair as black as charcoal, the sun-kissed tan a mixture of you and him. dressed in his own little jersey with ‚gonzalez‘ written on the back, paulo took a couple of steps back and showed ter stegen his tongue with a smile.

a signature gesture, a celebration gesture his father once made before pedri potter was born. truly exactly like the proud father, dressed in the barcelona kit with the number eight on the back, who stood beside his son with a wide smile. pride glistened in the curve of his mouth, and even tears gathered on his waterline, seeing the grown up little guy with his two years. paulo was everything pedro wanted after meeting you, and falling deeply and madly in love.

running forward, paulo kicked the ball with all his strength, watching with big, brown eyes and expectation. the ball jumped once, jumped twice, and ter stegen fell in the right direction but way too slowly and it rolled over the line. paulo could not believe what was happening, raising his hands in the air and running straight to his father, who watched proudly.

behind ter stegen, the culers cheered loudly, shouting pedris name but clapping for paulo‘s goal. the midfielder reached out for his son, picking him up in his arms with a wide smile. „did you see? i scored a goal just like you do!“ paulo boomed with happiness, giggling between the words.

„yes, yes, you did.“ pedri encouraged the little boy in his arms, his own world, he held tightly. „you just did it much better than pepi ever could.“

from the sidelines, you had your palms pressed to one another, the side of your fingers against your lips. pedri has been a good father before paulo was even born. always so caring, always so loving towards you and the growing belly. it was more than you could have imagined the night, you met the midfielder and engaged in a conversation.

the man you loved, who pressed a chaste kiss to the crown of paulo‘s hair. the little boy that looked exactly like his father, and would grow into such a great person as well. it was perfect.

[agardenofbasil]

"Never forget you're mine" with pedri and gavi please 🫣, completely up to you who says it 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you for being my first request, friend! I hope you enjoy. 🍃

“You’re cheating on me again.”

“Hm?”

“I said, you’re cheating on me again.”

“Oh?” Pedri doesn’t turn from the stove. “With whom this time?”

“Aitana.”

“Our Aitana?”

“No, singer Aitana.”

“Ah. Yeah.” Pedri flips the eggs and kills the heat before walking away. His eggs are already on a plate. Perfectly sunny-side up. It’s Gavi who’s the freak: runny yolks make him squeamish. “We talked after the celebration. Didn’t they- there it is.”

Gavi shows him his phone: a sneaky picture of him and the stylish pop star standing close and talking. The way most people do. But Pedri is not just a person anymore: Golden Boy, European Champion, world’s best midfielder. It’s too bad most of the world can’t string together the most obvious title.

Taken.

The rest of the article? 100% nonsense. He doesn’t bother reading it, choosing instead to humor the glint in Gavi’s eyes. “You caught me.”

Gavi glances down to Pedri’s mouth. “I did.” Before he can make a move, Pedri turns away. “Shouldn’t you be explaining yourself?”

“I’m too busy making your breakfast.” Pedri slides three eggs onto a plate and cranks the black pepper exactly twice. He can hear the creak of Gavi’s chair, and yet, he busies himself: berries, a thick piece of bread, and half of an avocado that mirrors the other sitting on Pedri’s plate.

What finally gets Pedri’s attention is Gavi's arms around his waist and his mouth at his ear.

“We should stop the rumors.”

“Oh? And how should we do that?”

“I’m thinking we win the Champions League-”

“Here we go.”

“And when the final whistle blows, I run off the bench-”

Pedri snorts. “You? On the bench? That’s how I know this is some sick fantasy.”

“Shut up, I’m painting a picture.”

“Get a new brush.”

“The final whistle blows,” Gavi repeats, voice dropping when he sees that Pedri’s done arranging his plate. “And I find you.”

Pedri finally turns around, his back against the countertop. “Like you always do.”

“Like I always do.”

“And?”

“And I tackle you to the ground-”

“Classy-”

“And kiss you while the confetti comes down.”

Pedri gives him a chaste kiss on his mouth. “Like that?”

“More like this.” Gavi’s kiss is slow, just like the honey that Pedri poured into his tea and twice as sweet. At first, that is. Gavi can only control himself for so long before he’s asking for more. Tongue beckoning Pedri’s to come and dance, hands searching far and wide. 

A soft moan spills from Pedri’s mouth. “That works too.” Gavi smirks before he leans back in, but Pedri stops him. “Hey.”

“Yeah?”

“You know that I’m not-”

“Oh, I know,” Gavi growls before hotly kissing Pedri’s neck. “I just want to make sure you don’t forget.”

“Forget?” Pedri gasps as Gavi trails upwards. Funny. His shirt’s moving upwards too.

“That you never forget you’re mine.” Gavi tosses Pedri’s shirt to the other end of the kitchen. “Now, I think it’s time to eat.”

[mssi]

pedri is the best midfielder in the world right now and if you can’t see that then football is not the sport for you

[vitorroquesgf]

pedri appreciation post because that man is actually out of this world.

controlled the match yet again, coming up against one of the best midfields in the world.

best midfielder in the world and it’s not even close.

[madridista-qui-no-boti]

Getting real annoyed at people that say they love Gavi and then proceed to list every little thing wrong he does or what he needs to work on to big up other players, even other players at Barca, but proceeds to ignore all the things he’s so incredibly good at.

There is multiple games this season we would’ve lost without him, there is multiple games we would’ve lost last season without the sacrifice he had to make playing continuously out of position. Is there aspects our other midfielders have more nailed down then him? Of course he’s still learning and growing, but there is also aspects that he is better at then others on the team, which those players have spoken about and admire about Gavi.

He is one of the best youngsters in the world, and I wish Barca fans would start acknowledging that.

He is not a Pedri, he is not a Frenkie but they aren’t a Gavi either

[donfermin]

you have to accept that pedri is not as good as everyone makes him out to be - there is a reason why bellingham is considered the best midfielder in the world at the moment and that is because he has so many goals

If you need your midfielder (who was actually used as a striker) to score a lot of goals to hide his inability to do anything else on the pitch so that you can have some figures to brag about, that's fine. But do not go around saying that Pedri is not phenomenal, because that is an outright lie 🤷🏻‍♀️

[bellcza]

pedri’s vision and footballing iq is off the charts never compare him to anyone ever again

[livelaughlovepedri]

Pedri once again showing he’s the best midfielder in the world 🪄🍌

Pedri: "I think I'm a lot more dangerous as a playmaker"

(Mundo Deportivo - July 3, 2024)

De la Fuente said in the run-up to the European Championship that Pedri had to find himself. And he seems to have found himself.

"I'm feeling very well, with much more confidence, with a lot of desire and above all with the desire to continue in this dream of winning the Euro, which I think we have the team for it."

In order to find yourself again, you have had to make several changes.

"Yes, I changed my nutrition, my physical preparation, I started to do pilates and I've done a lot of different things to try to find something that suits me. I think I've found it."

And some ideas that Ferran passed on to you. Soak in ice-cold water for one minute a day.

"Yes, although I don't think it's really necessary here because it's so cold. In the mornings we always go into very cold water for one minute. It's good to wake up, to wake you up and to get you ready for the day."

It's been a long time since you've been with the national team. Has this change of context been good for you?

"Above all to get away from it all. It's true that in Barcelona I had injuries and relapses, but I wanted to come to the national team, to be here in a training camp with my teammates. I feel very comfortable and I'm getting better every day."

Playing more vertical.

"That's right. A lot of coaches throughout my short career have asked me to do that. They've told me to get into the box a lot more, that I have to score goals and give assists. In that position it's much easier. Also, here I can play with Morata, who fixes the centre-backs very well. For a '10', having a striker like that makes everything much easier. It's a spectacle to play with Morata."

Which attacking midfielders does he look at?

"There are players who may not play in that position but have the qualities of a playmaker, like Musiala, a player who may play as a winger but can play inside. Or Wirtz himself. They are players who have been playing at a very high level for many years and you learn from them."

Musiala and Wirtz. Both will be opponents on Friday.

"They are having a spectacular Eurocup, especially Musiala. Wirtz is also playing very well. Let's hope we can neutralise them in the best possible way. It's clear that our midfield is also very strong and I think we have the best player in the world in that position, Rodri."

Called to be, surely, the stars of the next decade. Pedri, Nico, Lamine, Wirtz, Musiala… They will face each other for the first time. Are you looking forward to it?

"Yes, it's going to be a match where the neutral spectator, the one who doesn't belong to either team, is going to have a great time. It's going to be amazing. It's going to be a match with a lot of magic, a lot of dribbling, a lot of possession. I think it's going to be a hard-fought match and hopefully we'll take it."

Dani Olmo and Pedri also complement each other on the pitch

"Yes, at the last European Championship and at the World Cup we met on the pitch many times.He is a player with whom I enjoy playing together and I hope we can do the same at this European Championship."

You must have heard about the curse of the host at the training camp.Spain have never beaten the host country.

"I've always said that there's a first time for everything and hopefully this is it. It's a curse that sometimes scares people, but not us. It motivates us a little bit more to try to put an end to that."

Beyond the cliché of an early final, are the two best teams in this European Championship facing each other?

"These are two teams that have been very consistent, both in the group stage and in the round of 16. We've always played the same way, the same football, scoring goals and winning games a bit more calmly. That's why it's going to be a spectacular game."

Is there any other team that has caught your eye?

"Switzerland. We knew beforehand that they were a difficult team, but they are having a spectacular tournament and they are a tough opponent."

Their group is usually made up of Fermín, Lamine, Nico, Ferran, Dani Olmo… At 21 years of age, he's already one of the veterans.

"I get into the rondos before Nico because I'm from November, imagine that. We are always together. With Ferran and Dani Olmo we like to banter, we like to joke around. But when the match starts, the jokes are over and we play."

[haalandaisesauce]

And let Madrid fans tell it, they’ll swear up and down that Pedri is not one of the best midfielders in the world.

[idkanymoretbf]

I need to know your prediction for todays game bebs!!! I think barca can do it, i’d say 4:2

¡visca barca!

i'm honestly nervous. i have some serious traumas from the ucl since the roma game and all those teams that did the 'remontada' on us, lmfao, so the nerves are kicking in. i'm not gonna give my prediction because i'm always AWFUL at that (i usually predict the winner but i can't really predict the score lol) but i'm gonna do some analysis for sure:

1. one of our cms needs to step up and be a dm since we don't have andreas (most likely fdj or gundo or both of them as double pivots while pedri will have the most attacking space probably).

2. i don't think that mbappe necessarily 'ghosted' last time i just think that our defenders did a good job. as much as i hate to admit it mbappe is a world class and our defenders need to step up again (i believe that they will). mbappe has a motive ngl, he got trolled on internet a lot and he probably wanna prove himself tonight, but trying to prove yourself can be a bad thing too (it can results to taking some unnecessary shots and moves just to prove yourself).

3. apart from mbappe, nuno mendes and barcola are the biggest threats AND add hakimi to all that, they wouldn't hesitate to play a really offensive football tonight. xavi made a great thing and did NOT put araujo on rb, just because mbappe is playing there. he realized that he can't have only one player marking him so putting jules on rb and ronald on rcb was the best thing he had done. in paris we didn't played high with our defense which is a good thing and we need to play like that tonight too.

4. BUT they have a big problem too and it's their defense. they have fast and dangerous wingers but i think our defense and midfield is way better. their defense is shit ngl and they make tons of mistakes. let's mention donnarumma too. they are awful at set pieces (corners especially) and we can an NEED to take advantage of that.

5. they are so good at pressing and that can be a problem for them too. one long pass from our defense or mats to the front and that's where their defenders collapse. also we need to press too because donnarumma is bad in that aspect too.

6. the best thing about last game is that we have the advantage. we're in the best situation among all the clubs that are in the qfs because only we won an away game. we have one goal advantage and we need to use that in our favor. we can't just defend the result tonight because if we score the goal first, there won't be any bigger problems for us if you ask me.

7. our players seem really happy and excited about this game and i think that's a good thing.

8. fans there, would help us a lot. more passion, more chants, more anything, we can't be quiet tonight, it's one of our most important games in years literally!!!

9. if xavi does everything tactically perfect tonight we would definitely win, and of course, if our players do their best!!!

10. also forgot to mention that we shouldn't really care about possession, because possession doesn't win you games, psg also plays that 'possession type of football' under lucho so we shouldn't really care about that! (i saw few fans on twitter roasting our players because of that but we literally won a game lol).

11. we can't lose concentration tonight because we saw what happened when we did in those 5 to 10 minutes. we controlled a game and they scored because we controlled it badly in the start of the second half.

long ass analysis, i know, but i had to write it out to make it clear for others that it's not gonna be that easy tonight. BUT i do believe that we can win this.

at the end of the day i stand with the boys always, no matter what happens, so:

Visca el Barça y Visca Catalunya, always! 💙❤️
