Would he really want to go? I know for some countries winning Olympic gold matters a lot, but it doesn't really matter all that much in Spanish football surely with World Cups and Euros in their trophy cabinet.

I can imagine the club will request he's withdrawn.

Olympics are once in a lifetime in that he can hang with other top athletes in other sports from all countries. I know Barca released Neymar in 2016, but he had to choose between that and the Copa Centennario. Pedri is already playing Euros so...

Unlikely gets to hang with anyone bar his team mates due to covid restrictions or even gets to go see other events.

Before 2016, Brazil never won Olympic so Neymar had to go.
After Euro Pedri should rest 100%.

How idiotic. They should understand he needs a rest. So selfish.

Not the time to discuss this either. Let him concentrate on the Euros. Pretty sure he won't play in the Olympics though. At some point reason will prevail.

You think. Look at this man, probably the only man in Spain who's combination of arrogance and incompetence can top Tebas.
