Pedri stats: club and country by the numbers
A Las Palmas product who became Barcelona’s midfield heartbeat as a teenager, Pedri’s record in our database reads:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Barcelona | 218 | 24 | 30 | 338 |
| Spain | 16 | 2 | 1 | 37 |
What the numbers say
Pedri’s value is in his creativity and control. He has created 338 chances and 54 big chances for Barcelona, with 742 passes into the penalty area, and his 30 assists came from an expected-assists figure of 28.6. He chips in with goals too (24 for Barcelona), but it is his ability to find space under pressure and pick the killer pass that sets him apart.
The midfield brain
Across more than 15,000 Barcelona minutes Pedri has been the orchestrator, a press-resistant playmaker who keeps the ball moving and dictates the rhythm of a game. It is the platform Spain’s attackers thrive on. Few midfielders his age have ever controlled matches with such maturity.
