Thats it. If anyone hasn’t already changed their minds, they probably should. These player comparisons are getting out of hand anyways

Why don’t you guys make a r/Bellingham and go discuss there

Edit: LOL it already exists, but wrong Bellingham :P

Completely different type of players. Bellingham is a Steven Gerrard/Yaya Toure type midfielder while Pedri is a Xavi/Luka Modric type midfielder. Pedri making an impact in an important match would look completely different

Pedri isn’t the single most important player for his side in every single match he plays

You can see statistic about Barca before his injury. When he is out it takes the team about 3 or 4 matches to get back into good form. With him the win % is ridiculously higher than the first matches without him. He has been the main component in barcas midfield since he was 18. there’s a reason he play every match for Spain and Barca despite him still being 18 back in the day.

Who ever said Pedri was better than Bellingham?

Pretty much every football social media comment section

It is similar to comparing between kdb and rodri

I will consume all of Canada

Bellingham is the best player on the planet right now

[–] horny4911@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Pedri has been injured several times for months and months now. Pedri is not a cam. Pedri has been balling just like Bellingham since he was 18 playing in a team where midfield is the main component.

Yes Bellingham is absolutely incredible. But I’ve seen pedri play like an adult veteran since he was a kid. I don’t think comparing is possible since they play so different.

What's the point of the comparison? I'm a Barca fan. Jude's currently better simply through the fact that Pedri's not even playing, he's injured. Pedri's been overworked, and this might affect his career in the long run.

Doesn't matter that Jude's currently outscoring Haaland and Mbappe. Jude's clearly the better scorer, but that doesn't make him the inherently better player. Pedri plays, or should play, deeper, so he'll never be as flashy. Could still finish his career as the better player, provided he won't keep getting injured.
