He possesses excellent ball control and dribbling skills, allowing him to navigate through tight spaces with the ball at his feet. His ability to manipulate the ball with both feet at full speed adds to his effectiveness on the pitch. Pedri has registered three goals and two assists in the 17 games played across competitions for Barcelona so far this season.
Breel Embolo (Switzerland):
Breel Embolo is the player to watch out for in this game for Switzerland. He has scored two goals and provided four assists in the 13 games played across club competitions so far this season. Embolo is known for his blistering pace, which allows him to exploit spaces behind defences.
