Barcelona temporarily increased their lead at the top of La Liga to seven points ahead of rivals Real Madrid after a 33rd-round win against Real Mallorca on Tuesday night at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. This victory brought their total to 76 points, with Real Madrid set to play Getafe later in the day.
However, despite the positive result, tension flared in the Barcelona locker room. According to the Spanish outlet El Nacional, midfielder Pedri stirred up controversy by criticizing teammates Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres for what he described as “reckless play” and missing several key chances that could have secured a more dominant result.
Insiders report that Pedri was clearly frustrated after the match and openly called out the pair. He warned that such lack of focus could be detrimental in crucial upcoming games, including the Copa del Rey final and a Champions League showdown with Inter Milan.
Pedri also directed his concerns toward head coach Hansi Flick, urging him to crack down on this perceived complacency. He emphasized that discipline and concentration are vital if the club hopes to turn their season around and contend for major honors.
