🚨A huge shock! Neither Lamine Yamal nor Pedri… the legend Andrés Iniesta reveals which Barcelona star will change the course of the game at the Bernabéu! 😲 The maestro confirms: this player is the secret weapon who will shatter Real Madrid’s dreams in El Clásico and urges Hansi Flick to include him in the starting lineup. 😱😱 “He cannot be stopped!” – That’s how Iniesta described this player, who is expected to do what no one anticipated. 👀 All the details can be found in the first comment below 👇👇

🔥 THE CLÁSICO IGNITES — INIESTA DROPS A BOMBSHELL FROM JAPAN: “PEDRI WILL DESTROY REAL MADRID’S DREAMS!” 🇪🇸

The Clásico is already on fire — and this time, it’s not because of Lamine Yamal’s comments or Pedri’s latest statement. The real explosion has come from Japan, where Andrés Iniesta, the legendary midfield magician who defined an era at Barcelona, has revealed his “secret weapon” for the showdown at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Forget the young talents from Mataró or the Canarian double pivot — for Iniesta, it’s Pedri who will turn the tide and crush Real Madrid’s hopes. The man from Fuentealbilla didn’t hold back in his interview with Mundo Deportivo, declaring:

“He can’t be stopped! He’s the one who can change everything for Barça.”

Iniesta urged coach Hansi Flick to make Pedri the heartbeat of the team in the Clásico, calling him Barça’s “secret weapon.”

🧠 INIESTA’S PROPHECY — PEDRI, THE DIFFERENCE-MAKER

Speaking during the International Health Communication Congress at the Vall d’Hebron Hospital, Iniesta downplayed the pre-match chatter, emphasizing the essence of El Clásico:

“This game is bigger than words. It’s football’s greatest stage.”

He then turned his attention to Pedri, describing him as the most complete and “differential” player in the current squad.

“Pedri embodies what a true footballer is — vision, control, intelligence, and that ability to break lines. I just want him to keep growing. It will be great for Barça,” said the World Cup winner, who lifted 32 trophies with the club.

Iniesta went even further, tactically outlining why Pedri must start:

“With his brain in midfield, Barça control the tempo, neutralize Bellingham and Tchouaméni, and unleash Yamal and Ferran on the break. If Flick starts him — Madrid’s dreams are over.”

Pedri’s numbers back the claim: 4 goals, 5 assists, a 92% pass accuracy, and 2.5 recoveries per game this season — a stat line reminiscent of his mentor.

⚔️ BARÇA’S STRATEGY — AND A FIRED-UP PEDRI

With Hansi Flick suspended for the Clásico and Marcus Sorg set to take charge, Barcelona’s lineup remains under debate. Flick has been testing a De Jong–Pedri midfield pairing in training — a duo that has generated nearly 70% possession in their last three Clásicos together.

“Iniesta knows what he’s talking about. Pedri is 100% ready,” a club insider revealed.

Pedri himself responded on Barça TV with humility and determination:

“Iniesta motivates me. I want to be the player he believes I can be. At the Bernabéu, I’ll show it.”

⚪ MADRID REACTS — “IT STINGS US”

In Madrid, Iniesta’s words have hit hard. Xabi Alonso, addressing reporters, tried to stay calm:

“Iniesta is a legend, but the Bernabéu doesn’t respect names. We play our football.”

Still, sources inside the Madrid dressing room admitted the comments “stung,” recalling how Pedri has hurt them in past encounters. Madrid are set to line up with Courtois behind Carvajal, Militão, Rüdiger, Mendy, and an explosive attack of Rodrygo, Mbappé, and Vinícius.

🏟️ THE STAGE IS SET

Iniesta’s faith in Pedri is no coincidence — the former No.10 has always defended the “homegrown philosophy” of controlling the game through possession and intelligence.

With Lewandowski and Raphinha sidelined, Pedri is expected to be Barça’s creative engine in a likely lineup of:
Szczęsny; Koundé, Araujo, Cubarsí, Balde; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Fermín López, Rashford; Ferran Torres.

The Clásico, kicking off this Sunday at 9:00 p.m. CET, will be watched by more than 500 million viewers worldwide.

Will Iniesta’s prophecy come true?
Will Pedri, the “unstoppable one,” write his name into Clásico history?

The Bernabéu awaits — and the legend’s legacy lingers.
