Barcelona midfielder Pedri voiced his disappointment following the team’s 4-2 loss to Osasuna in La Liga. He criticized the team’s poor start and mentioned a foul on an Osasuna player before their second goal. Pedri also highlighted that Lamine Yamal was fouled in the box, which led to a missed penalty opportunity.
Despite the loss, he is focusing on Barcelona’s upcoming Champions League match, stressing the need for a home win.
“We didn’t start the match well,” Pedri said to reporters. “Rotation is normal since we have many matches to play.”
He expressed frustration over the officiating, noting, “There was a foul on an Osasuna player before their second goal; he stepped on our player’s foot.”
Pedri was particularly vocal about the penalty that wasn’t awarded for the foul on Yamal. “There was a clear penalty for Lamine Yamal,” he remarked.
Looking ahead, Pedri remains hopeful about Barcelona’s Champions League prospects. “We are focused on the next Champions League match and need to win our first home game,” he stated.
This defeat poses a significant challenge for Barcelona’s La Liga title hopes, and the team will need to quickly regroup to stay competitive in both domestic and European contests.
