‘We are not unbeatable’… Pedri remains prudent after helping Barcelona reach the Copa del Rey finals | OneFootball

FC Barcelona had a significant test facing them as they lined up against Atletico Madrid for the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final at the Metropolitano last night. As has usually been the case this season, the Blaugranes passed this test without many problems as they emerged the winners, beating the Colchoneros 0-1.

Almost every Blaugrana player put in an impressive shift, but the player who once again proved to be the most important for Hansi Flick was none other than Pedri. The Canarian proved to be simply unplayable for the Mattress Makers and helped his team on both sides of the pitch.

As Mundo Deportivo has reported, the Spaniard also talked to the media after the game. As opposed to the excitement some of his other teammates expressed with the prospect of facing Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final, Pedri was more prudent on this occasion:

“We are not unbeatable; we have lost some matches. We must be self-critical and correct our mistakes, as there are always some… It won’t be easy, but hopefully, we can play a match like the ones we’ve had against them before.”

The Barcelona star praised his team for carrying out their instructions to the word:

“The high pressing that defines us, that advanced defensive line. And with the ball, we need to maintain composure because our attacking players have great potential to make the difference.”

The midfielder also expressed happiness about his own performances and recognized his good run of form:

“I’m in the best moment of my career, or one of the best, and I feel very comfortable.”

Pedri has been the most important player for Barcelona since the start of this season, and he continues to showcase his importance for the Blaugrana team with his amazing performances in every other match. As a result, he is also getting into the debate for the Ballon d’Or and hopefully, he will be able to add some trophies to his name to make these claims even stronger.
