Pedri was recognized as the best young player of the year for the second time this month, but this time awarded with a different title. At the "Ballon d'Or" award ceremony, other awards were also given out, including the "Kopa Trophy" title. The "Kopa Trophy" was awarded to Pedri, a defender for "Barcelona" and the Spanish national team. The 19-year-old Spaniard played a lot of matches last season. With Barcelona, Pedri won the "Copa Del Rey" title, reached the final of the European Championship with the Spanish national team, and won silver medals at the Tokyo Olympic Games. Previously, this award has been won by Kylian Mbappe (in 2018) and Matthijs de Ligt (in 2019). In 2020, like the "Golden Ball", this award was not presented.
