Beyond the FC Barcelona victory over Athletic Bilbao four goals to zero, it was Pedri’s XXL performance that marked the world of football. He also made a gesture of great class.
“Pedri has the perfect space-time notion. When he touches the ball, the action is always improved. With his talent, he can get out of any situation.” confided admiringly Xavi, during the post-match press conference. The Spanish midfielder once again amazed the Camp Nou.
This Sunday evening, Pedri splashed his talent on Marcelino’s men. Certainly he did not score or deliver a decisive pass but his contribution in the game is breathtaking. With 107 balls hit, for 93% of successful passes (including 100% at long distance) and three successful dribbles out of three attempted, the Spanish international reigned supreme in the Barcelona midfield.
As comfortable offensively as defensively, Xavi’s protege has won 80% of his duels. Mind-blowing statistics. Indisputable in the Barcelona eleven, Pedri is a pillar of the resurrection of the Catalan club.
To complete his work, the 19-year-old performed a very high-class technical gesture. A delicious little bridge that has made the rounds of social networks.
The comment is as exceptional as the gesture of Pedri??
