Luis Enrique lavishes praise on Pedri after Spain’s Euro 2020 exit

Spain boss Luis Enrique was full of praise for Pedri after seeing his side knocked out of Euro 2020 following a penalty shootout against Italy.

The Barcelona midfielder has certainly caught the eye at the tournament and put in another superb performance against the Azzurri.

Italy went on to win the game on penalties after the match ended 1-1 after extra-time, and Luis Enrique spoke about the Barcelona teenager after the match.

“Well I think no 18-year-old has done what Pedri has done in any major competition, whether it’s the Euros, the World Cup or the Olympics,” he said.
