⚡ DEFINING MOMENTS

▲ 2022 · Qatar, at nineteen
Pedri started all four of Spain's matches in Qatar, the metronome of a young midfield that passed Costa Rica off the pitch 7-0 on the opening night. He was among the tournament's busiest in possession — 462 touches across four games — a teenager trusted to set the tempo of a World Cup.
▲ 2022 · The shoot-out against Morocco
In the round of 16 Spain controlled the ball for 120 goalless minutes and then lost the penalty shoot-out 3-0, three Spaniards failing from the spot. Pedri played the whole tie. Possession had been mistaken for progress, and Spain went home.

█ THE ALMANAC SPEAKS
PROF. INKSWORTH:

A passer of unusual poise who reached a World Cup at nineteen and left it having touched the ball more than anyone in red, yet without a goal and without a quarter-final. Qatar was a lesson that keeping the ball is not the same as winning with it. The almanac notes the minutes, and the empty scoreline against Morocco.

  • His four matches in 2022 were all starts — he did not play every minute, but Spain's midfield rarely functioned without him.
  • He arrived at his first World Cup already a European Championship Young Player of the Tournament, an honour he won at Euro 2020.
  • Spain's exit to Morocco was settled by a penalty shoot-out they lost 3-0, having failed to score across 120 minutes of normal and extra time.
