Golden Boy: Pedri succeeds Hland

Considered the big favorite of this 2021 edition, FC Barcelona midfielder Pedri (18 years old, 4 games in all competitions this season), was logically named the 2021 Golden Boy by the Italian daily Tuttosport on Monday. This prize rewards the best player under 21 in Europe during the season.

In order, the Spanish international beat Jude Bellingham (Dortmund), Jamal Musiala (Bayern), Florian Wirtz (Leverkusen) and Gavi (FC Barcelona). A well-deserved coronation for the best hope of the last Euro, which succeeds the prodigy of Borussia Dortmund, Erling Braut Hland.
