After a slow start to Euro 2020, Spain have built momentum at exactly the right time. As they head into their quarter-final clash with Switzerland, manager Luis Enrique will be counting on his most important players to deliver, and few members of the squad have become more integral to this summer’s campaign than the 18-year-old midfielder Pedri.
The centre-back Aymeric Laporte and goalkeeper Unai Simon are the only other players alongside Pedri to have played every one of the 390 minutes of Spain’s games so far. The midfielder’s unexpected importance to his country is mirrored neatly by the season he has just had in Barcelona colours, where his 37 appearances in La Liga was matched only by fellow midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
