FIFPro previously issued a position statement on minimum rest guarantee for professional players, recommending the enforcement of mid-season breaks and saying that players should enjoy a two-week full offseason.
In the 2020-21 season, Pedri, who was 18 years old, played more than 60 games for Barcelona, and then participated in the European Cup and Olympics non-stop. At that time, photos of his haggard face were once widely flooded with the screen.
And FIFPro reposted the photo of Pedri at that time today and wrote: "In 2022, Pedri was the player with the largest workload, and now in 2025, he has reached the top again, and he is still only 22 years old this year."
"The players need a rest urgently, but for many, the Club World Cup is imminent."
FIFPro also lists the appearance rankings of male football players in the 2024-25 season (ends to June 1), as follows:
1, Pedri (Barcelona) - 67 games
2. KuBazi (Barcelona) - 66 games
3, Valverde (Real Madrid) - 65 games
4, Modric (Real Madrid) - 64 games
5 (Ticket), Zoolis (Bruges), B Fee (Manchester United), Rafinia (Barcelona), Akturkogru (Benfica) - 63 games
9 (Ticket), Saar (Tottenham), Fabian Ruiz (Paris Saint-Germain) - 62 games
