With a calm smile and a sense of maturity beyond his years, Pedri González is living one of the brightest moments of his career. The FC Barcelona and Spain midfielder spoke to the Spanish Football Federation about his current form, his close bond with Ferran Torres, and the personal rituals he follows before every match — revealing a more human, grounded side of himself.

How is Pedri experiencing his best footballing moment?

After years marked by injuries and setbacks, Pedri admits that he finally feels at peace — confident, sharp, and full of joy.

“I’m definitely in one of my best moments. I’ve gone through tougher times, but that’s all behind me now. I feel confident, and that’s everything for a player. This confidence is what’s helping me play some of my best football.”

Under Hansi Flick, the 21-year-old has regained his rhythm, precision, and creativity. His recent performances have brought him back to the level he showed as a teenage prodigy — only now with the maturity that comes from experience.

What role does Ferran Torres play in his daily life?

Beyond football, Pedri highlighted the importance of Ferran Torres, both as a teammate and as a close friend.

“I’m always with him. He’s been there for me in the bad times, through the injuries. He gives me advice, scolds me when he has to, and motivates me. We tease each other a lot, and that helps us laugh and make everything easier.”

Their friendship has become a safe haven amid the highs and lows of professional football — a reminder that support and humor go hand in hand with success.

What are Pedri’s pre-match rituals?

With a hint of shyness, Pedri shared some of the routines and superstitions he follows before every game.

“I always do a physio session on matchday, then I rest, talk to my family — and my mom always makes me shave; if I don’t, she scolds me. I go down to the team talk ten minutes early just in case the elevator fails. And yes, I still get nervous before matches.”

He also emphasized his connection with the fans — something he deeply values as motivation and grounding.

“From day one, they’ve shown me so much love. I always see banners with my name, and I never have enough shirts to give away. I just try to be myself and give back the happiness they bring me.”

At just 21 years old, Pedri seems to have found the perfect balance between pressure and passion. With confidence, health, and the support of his teammates, the Barcelona star is ready to cement himself as a cornerstone for Spain’s national team ahead of the next major international challenge.
