Pedri Chooses Between Treble Glory And Ballon d’Or

Barcelona midfielder, Pedri, stated that he prioritizes team trophies over individual honors this season, expressing that he would only accept the Ballon d’Or if his team secures the Champions League title and achieves a treble.

Barcelona are on an 18-game unbeaten run in all competitions, which has taken them to the top of La Liga, the Champions League quarter-finals, and the semis of the Copa del Rey.

“I would rather win the treble than the Ballon d’Or. If the Ballon d’Or comes, I want it to come alongside the collective titles,” he told local media on Monday.

“Being nominated is a dream, but winning the trophies is more important to me. We are at a time when everything is at stake. You can lose three games and be out of the three titles.”

The 22-year-old emphasized the importance of facing challenges directly and expressed his eagerness for a potential Champions League final against their fierce rivals, Real Madrid if both teams qualify.

“We must continue to enjoy these matches to get the best outcome. I would certainly welcome a Champions League final against Real Madrid it would mean we made it,” he added.

“You can’t be afraid of any opponent.”
