From the source

Hansi Flick’s Barcelona are one of the best attacking teams in Europe and tend to score a lot of goals. The likes of Raphinha and Lamine Yamal often appear on the scoresheet and they are ably supported by an ensemble cast.

The midfield is extremely crucial to the number of chances Barcelona create and no one is more central to this than Pedri. The Canary Islander can spot runs before anyone else realises and he also has the vision and technique to play the perfect pass.

Pedri has done this despite having played just 266 minutes across four appearances, less than three full games. The 23-year-old is averaging an impressive 1.69 big chances created per 90 minutes, demonstrating how frequently he is unlocking opposition defences.
