Olmo backs Pedri to bounce back for Spain
Spain reached the quarter-finals with a 1-0 win over Portugal, courtesy of Mikel Merino's stoppage-time winner.
Pedri failed to make his usual impact for Spain in the victory, struggling to penetrate Portugal's backline while only winning one of his five duels; he won five of his seven duels against Austria in the previous round.
Spain also scored its winner after Pedri was replaced late on, but Olmo defended his compatriot and Barcelona team-mate.
"Pedri is a spectacle to watch, to train, and to play," Olmo said. "Every time I see him, he's spectacular.
"With and without the ball, having him on the field, knowing Pedri is playing gives you an extra boost.

Pedri Trending: Spain Midfielder Leads La Roja Against Belgium in World Cup 2026 Quarterfinal at SoFi Stadium
Pedri is at the center of Spain's World Cup quarterfinal push against Belgium tonight, with La Roja chasing their first semifinal since 2010.
Pedri is the name search bars can’t stop refreshing on Friday, and for good reason. Spain’s 23-year-old midfield conductor takes the pitch at SoFi Stadium tonight against Belgium in a FIFA World Cup 2026 quarterfinal, with La Roja chasing their first semifinal appearance since the 2010 championship run — and Pedri sitting at the center of everything they’re trying to build.
The Barcelona No. 8 has quietly become the most important player in Luis de la Fuente’s setup. Since debuting for the senior national team in 2021, Pedri has represented Spain at back-to-back World Cups and two European Championships, collecting six international goals in 46 caps along the way. In 2026 alone he’s made eight appearances for the national side, chipping in a goal as Spain has rolled through the group stage and knockout rounds without conceding a single goal — a defensive stat that’s as much about Pedri’s control in midfield as it is about the back line behind him.
