Pedri: Only a 39-Year-Old Messi Could Dominate at the 2026 World Cup
Spain midfielder Pedri told DSports he marvels at Lionel Messi’s ability to read the game. He says only Messi’s spatial awareness and football IQ let him find free spaces and score goals even at 39. Messi has already scored five times in two matches at this World Cup, breaking the all-time tournament scoring record with an unprecedented 18 goals. Pedri points to that record-shattering run as proof of his former teammate’s unmatched quality. The two stars shared the 2020/21 season at Barcelona, lifting the Copa del Rey together. Pedri recalls learning so much from Messi and still enjoys watching him perform on the pitch.
