Spain midfielder Pedri revealed his choice between winning the Ballon d’Or or lifting the treble with Barcelona.
The Spaniard insisted he would put team trophies above individual accolades – except if the Catalan giants do win the Champions League or completes the treble.
The Blaugrana are on an 18-game unbeaten streak in all competitions, which has elevated them to the summit of the LaLiga standings, the Champions League quarter-finals and the last four 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 said to local media.
“Being nominated is a dream, but winning the trophies is more important to me. We are at a time where everything is at stake. You can lose three games and be out of the three titles.”
The 22-year-old also stated it was important to meet the challenges head on and would look forward to a Champions League final against fierce rivals Real Madrid if they both made it.
“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 continued.
“You can’t be afraid of any opponent.”
