Jota Jordi Reappears with an Embarrassing Statement Portraying Him: Pedri is Better

The Barça commentator expresses a controversial opinion that has sparked much to talk about

Comparisons between the players of both Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are starting to lose the strength they had a month and a half ago. The change in dynamics recorded by Carlo Ancelotti's men leaves them second in the league, ahead of the Catalan team and just one point behind Atlético de Madrid.

This difference, in the Atlético team's case, could be reduced and reversed in a victory at the Mestalla stadium, scheduled for January 3rd, 2025. However, it seems clear that the Barça team needs to regroup and recover what made them invincible during the early stages of the season.

Jota Jordi, since Real Madrid's victory in the Intercontinental Cup final, has been more or less "absent" from social media. His silence during the victory against Sevilla was very evident, something that has been broken on the official networks of El Chiringuito de Jugones.

One of the latest posts from the program, presented and directed by Josep Pedrerol, has caused an intense debate involving two players. Pedri González and Jude Bellingham. Jota Jordi, asked in various aspects, always places FC Barcelona's "8" as the best.

Great separation

While it's true that this preference is understandable, considering he is a die-hard FC Barcelona fan, there are some areas that are indefensible. Especially in the area of titles and best moments, also assigned to Pedri by Jota Jordi. Bellingham has won five club-level trophies during 2024, while the Canarian midfielder hasn't won any.

The same goes for the best moments. Bellingham is being crucial for Madrid to continue winning titles, while Pedri has been injured for quite some time and hasn't influenced his team's play.

Every match day for Real Madrid is a new opportunity for Jude Bellingham to widen the competitive gap that separates him from Pedri. He has been showing this, especially in a very complete December for him, including a victory in the Intercontinental Cup final.

The return to his natural position, as an attacking midfielder, has caused Bellingham to return to being the player he always was, crucial for Madrid... even if he can't score or assist his teammates in some matches.
