Pedri, still only 18, shone on the international stage as La Roja thrashed Slovakia 5-0 on Wednesday.
The Barcelona superstar was majestic in midfield, creating a host of chances for his teammates - having a say in three of Spain's goals.
He played a big role in Aymeric Laporte, Pablo Sarabia and Ferran Torres' goals, making key passes in the build-up.
The youngster showed off his composure, footwork and skill as he absolutely ran the midfield.
Pedri looked mature beyond his tender years and has an extremely bright future ahead of him.
Twitter user @FDJChief shared a compilation of his performance and it makes for sensational viewing.

It's really hard to believe this guy is only 18 years old. In his first major tournament with Spain's first team he's already playing like a veteran. Generational :dizzy:

Pedri has drawn some lofty comparisons to Barca and Spain legend Andres Iniesta, but Luis Enrique has pumped the breaks on that thought.
Speaking prior to the tournament, he said: "Pedri and Iniesta are two different players. Pedri must be allowed to continue making mistakes and getting everything right.
"He is very humble and works and I have known him from his time in the Under-21 team, but they are two different players."
