Jamie Carragher needed only 20 minutes to decide that Pedri was the best player of the World Cup so far.
The Barcelona star was Spain's conductor from the middle as they picked apart Costa Rica in their opening game. The 2010 champions ran riot against their South American opponents with three goals in the first 45 minutes as they looked to lay down an early marker.
Pedri was central to everything good about Luis Enrique's side as Dani Olmo, Marco Asensio and Ferran Torres all scored. Carragher was clearly impressed with the 19-year-old, who was equally as impressive at the Euros last summer.
