The Barcelona star has become a key figure in La Roja’s midfield line.
Spain can build on their Euro 2020 performances to win the World Cup in Qatar, according to Pedri.
Last year, Pedri played in both the European Championship and the Olympics for Spain. Both competitions ended in near misses for La Roja.
Luis Enrique’s side lost to Italy in the semi-finals, while the Olympic team were defeated in the gold-medal match.
The former Barcelona coach had a few surprises in his World Cup squad. But Pedri believes Spain’s team spirit can help them push for the title.
Speaking to Mundo Deportive about Spain’s chances to win the World Cup, he said: “You have to focus first on the group stage and then on the following rounds, but we have a team to be able to compete.
“We come from a European Championship and a Nations League where we did very well. In the Euros we reached the semi-finals, and I was sure that if we went to the final, we would win it.
“In the Nations League I could hardly play, but the team was very good. We are a very good group and it shows on the pitch.
“We don’t have a megastar, the group is our best star. When you all run together and everyone knows what they want and what you’re playing for, I think you have a lot done and a good chance of winning.
“We are going to the World Cup with everything, with a lot of desire to give the fans happiness, whether they support us from home or from Qatar. Let’s give it our all.”
