Pedri, the leader of Barcelona's midfield, has named the six players he currently considers the best in the world.
"Mbappe, Yamal, Salah, Haaland, Rafinha, and Julian Alvarez are the best in the world."
According to Lent.az, citing foreign press, he explicitly refused to play against one of them:

"I want to test my strength against everyone except Yamal. Since I haven't faced them yet, I'm more interested in competing against Erling and Mohamed."
