Spain defeats Peru 3-1 in friendly; Pedri impresses Puebla crowd

On a warm evening in Puebla, Spain concluded a 3-1 friendly victory over Peru — not as a declaration, but as a quiet act of self-discovery before the tournament ahead. In these preparatory matches, nations take stock of what they are and what they might become, and Spain found in its young midfielder Pedri a kind of answer: that technical football, rooted in patience and vision, endures when the right minds are given space to express it. The result matters less than what it revealed — a team that knows itself well enough to compete when the stakes rise.
