In Barcelona’s 3-0 victory over Brest in the Champions League, Pedri delivered an outstanding performance that caught the attention of both his coach and the opposition. The match, held at the Olympic Stadium of Luis Companys, saw Barcelona dominate the French side and extend their winning streak to four matches in the competition.
Pedri was the standout player on the field, showcasing his exceptional skill, vision, and creativity. His movement and precise passing in midfield were a constant threat to Brest, and he played a pivotal role in controlling the game. His ability to link up play and set up attacking opportunities made him a key figure in Barcelona’s success. The German coach, Hansi Flick, was full of praise for Pedri after the match, telling him in the locker room, âI canât find the right words to describe how incredible what youâre doing on the field is.â
Even Brest’s coach, Eric Roy, acknowledged Pedri’s brilliance, admitting that his team struggled to cope with the Barcelona midfielder’s influence, especially in the middle of the park. Pedriâs performance was so impressive that it drew recognition from across the football world.
The match also saw praise for Marc Casado, who played a crucial defensive role, helping to thwart Brest’s attacking attempts. Robert Lewandowski, Barcelona’s star striker, credited his goal-scoring success this season to the support of Pedri and Casado, stating that without them, his goal tally would not be as high.
After the match, Barcelona president Joan Laporta made a surprise visit to congratulate Gerard Martin on his strong performance, especially after facing criticism following the previous draw with Celta Vigo. Pedri, however, remained the focal point of attention, reaffirming his status as one of Barcelona’s most valuable players in their quest for success in both domestic and European competitions.
