Fútbol Club Barcelona once again played a leading role in international football thanks to the stellar performance of Pedri, who led Spain's resounding victory (0-6) against Turkey at the Konya Arena.
The Canary Islands midfielder scored a brace and an assist in a match that reinforces the candidacy of the team led by Luis de la Fuente in the World Cup qualification.
Pedri opens and closes the rout in Turkey
Barely five minutes had passed when Pedri opened the scoring with a precise shot that silenced the local fans. Spanish dominance was imposed from the start and the Canary Islander reappeared in the final stretch of the match to score the sixth goal, rounding off a night that confirms him as a key player in the national team.
In addition to his two goals, Pedri also provided an assist, consolidating his offensive impact in a match that will go down in history for Spain's superiority in one of the most difficult scenarios in the group.
Lamine Yamal, constant imbalance
In the first half, Lamine Yamal once again demonstrated why he is considered the great jewel of the culé academy. Although he failed to materialize in the finish, he was the protagonist of several dangerous actions, overflowing the Turkish defense and generating spaces that his teammates took advantage of.
Ferran Torres also joins the party
In the second half Ferran Torres came into action, who did not miss the opportunity to leave his mark. The Valencian scored Spain's fourth goal with a timely shot that reflected his goalscoring instinct and the depth of the Spanish bench.
A triumph that reinforces Spain's confidence
The thrashing (0-6) leaves Spain in a privileged position in the World Cup qualifying phase, consolidating De la Fuente's men as leaders of the group. Turkey, who aspired to surprise, could barely respond to the pace set by the Spaniards.
