The Spaniard won just one title with FC Barcelona as the recent years haven’t been too fruitful for them. However, the addition of Robert Lewandowski is changing the scene for Barcelona as they are back on track and are competing for big titles again.
On the other hand, Camavinga already has a lot of titles in his cabinet at a very young age.

Who is the better player?
The FC Barcelona wunderkid has a lot more exprience than Camavinga. In the short careers, they have had Pedri has proved more beneficial for the team as he started with Barcelona much before the time Camavinga joined Real Madrid. We can predict the two players to have great careers in Spain as they play for the biggest rival club in the world.
