Pedri González, the young FC Barcelona midfielder, is not only shining on the pitch, but has also proven to be a key player and a fan of the popular LaLiga Fantasy mobile game, which consists of competing against other users based on the performances of the footballers in league matches.
Following Barcelona’s victory over Rayo Vallecano, Pedri made a statement to DAZN’s El Post that not only reflected his satisfaction with the team’s victory and his own performance, including a goal, but also his dedication to the game, where he seems to be as involved as on the pitch.

The statements“I had already spoken to Rafa (Raphinha) at half-time about the fact that those back balls were going in and, well, much better, because I have myself in the Fantasy. So I take away good points. I am very happy with the team’s victory and to play with Olmo, who was really looking forward to it,” Pedri said with a laugh, making it clear that for him, scoring points in the Fantasy is almost as important as doing so in real life.
Pedri, one of the best in LaLiga FantasyPedri has been one of the standout players at the start of the 2024/25 season, both in real life and in Fantasy. In the first three rounds, the midfielder has accumulated 21 points, which places him among the highest-rated players in the competition. His participation as a starter in two of the three games and his ability to directly influence Barcelona’s play have allowed him to add valuable points for the Fantasy players who bet on him.
Madness also catches Marcos LlorenteThe Atletico Madrid player recently confessed that he has started to get involved in Fantasy after discovering the popularity of the game among his fans. However, unlike Pedri, Llorente humorously revealed that he has not been able to sign himself, as his place in the team was quickly taken by a friend.
The game has gained huge popularity among users over the past two years. You only need to look at the reactions on X when a player performs outstandingly or when the application’s servers crash, something that is happening frequently at the start of this season.
