Fernando Alonso, the two-time Formula One world champion and lifelong Real Madrid fan, playfully suggested signing Barcelona’s Pedri during a recent interview. When asked who he would choose to strengthen Madrid, Alonso humorously indicated that signing Pedri would undermine Barcelona, emphasizing his tactical acumen. Despite competition from other Barcelona stars contributing significantly that season, Alonso highlighted Pedri's crucial role in controlling matches and being the heartbeat of the team. This tongue-in-cheek comment reflects Alonso's dedication to Real Madrid and his strategic thinking in football.
"Speaking to DAZN ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix, Alonso was asked a cheeky but intriguing question: If you could sign one Barcelona player for Real Madrid, who would it be?"
"Smiling, Alonso gave a playful and strategic answer: I would sign Pedri for Madrid, to weaken Barca. I also do that on the PlayStation... and then leave him on the bench."
"But Pedri – who quietly returned to his best this year – was central to Barca's midfield dominance, dictating the tempo and controlling matches in a way that evoked legends like Xavi and Iniesta."
