For a long time, it was just Pedro and David Silva representing the Canary Islands within the Spanish national team. While the former hails from Tenerife, the Manchester City man was born and raised to the east in Gran Canaria, meaning their relationship would inevitably be a warm one once their paths had crossed within the national setup.

After Spain's EURO 2008 and World Cup 2010 victories, the pair of them celebrated the triumphs by adorning themselves with the flag of the Canary Islands, and were seen posing for a host of pictures together. "I have a good relationship with David [Silva]," Pedro told the Guardian back in 2014.
