Injured FC Barcelona and Spain’s midfield maestro, Pedro González López, commonly known as Pedri, has responded to the plea for forgiveness by Real Madrid legend, Toni Kroos.

TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Kross unusually crashed into Pedri in the opening minutes of the last eight meeting of the 2024 Euro between Germany and Spain.

The crash sent Pedri flying into the air and landing awkwardly on his left knee. The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) later told Mundo Deportivo that Pedri suffered an internal ligament sprain.

After spending some time writhing in pain, the 21-year-old returned to his feet and walked off the Stuttgart pitch holding back tears.

Kroos apologized to Pedri, tagging him in an Instagram post on Saturday.

“In this way, it is very important to me: Forgiveness and get well soon to @pedri! Logically, it wasn’t my intention to hurt you. A quick recovery and all the best. You’re a great player,” a translation of Kroos’ post reads.

Responding, Pedri wrote: “I came to Germany for #Euro2024 and I will continue here, until the end. Because the dream, do not doubt it, continues.

“This week it’s time to encourage and contribute in another way to this great family that is @sefutbol. Their support and that of all of you is being incredible. The hardest moment has passed and the road back is now beginning, to soon be at full strength with @fcbarcelona

“Thank you @toni.kr8s for your message. This is football and these things happen. Your career and your record remain forever. I just want to say one more thing. LET’S GO SPAIN!”

TNG reports injured Pedri was replaced by goalscorer Dani Olmo, and though Florian Wirtz levelled in the 89th minute, a 119th minute extra time header from Mikel Merino put La Roja through to the semifinals.

On Tuesday, Spain will meet Kylian Mbappe’s France in the Euro 2024 semifinals.
