Pedri on Messi's place in history
Pedri said: "For me, Messi is the best player in history. I know some people have different opinions, but based on what I have seen myself, no one comes close. I was lucky to play alongside him for a full year, but that year felt too short. I wish I could have spent many more years with him."
Call for a Barcelona farewell
Pedri said: "He deserves a farewell ceremony that reflects his greatness at FC Barcelona."
Support for Argentina and Newell’s
Pedri said: "Argentina holds a special place in my heart because of Leo Messi. I’ve supported them since I was a child; whenever Spain was knocked out of a tournament, I would root for Argentina, given the affection I’ve had for Leo for years. In Argentina, I support Newell’s Old Boys - all because of Messi."
