Barcelona superstar revealed that he had been rejected by Real Madrid: They told me that they did not meet the standards

Since Real Madrid signed Bellingham from Dortmund, there have been many discussions about which one is better than Barcelona midfielder Pedri: both are Golden Boy Award winners and an important pillar of the two giants in La Liga.

Of course, the two play different roles in their respective teams. Pedri has always been one of Barcelona's double centers in the midfield, while Bellingham is more involved in the offense. In fact, if there were no accidents, the two major golden boys would have had a great chance to play football together.

In a recent interview with Le Marca, Pedri admitted that he had indeed participated in the trial training of Real Madrid, but was rejected in the end, "They told me that they did not meet the standards, and then I went home."

If Real Madrid did reject Pedri because they did not meet the standards, it would make people wonder what the so-called standard is? After all, the Spanish international has become one of the best players in the world and has been nominated for the Golden Globes.
