Hailing from the Canary Islands, where his family owns and operates a pub, Pedri’s skills have earned worldwide renown, and they’re on full display at the World Cup.
A pub and a peña. That’s what the grandfather of Pedro González López passed down to his family on the island of Tenerife. And without one or the other, González López may not be the Spanish national team star known around the world as Pedri.
At the pub, which Pedri’s father has since turned into a full-fledged restaurant called Tasca Fernando, the family hosts the Peña Barcelonista de Tenerife-Tegueste, one of more than 1,200 official Barcelona fan clubs around the world.
