Barcelona produced a chased version to win a 1-0 win over Benfica on Wednesday, and in the heart of this was Maestro Pedri in midfield. The 22-year-old is in sensational form this season and his latest strong show came to the Portuguese capital.
It was a ruthless performance of Pedri, who ran the show in midfield, even though a Barcelona player was in the middle of the park after Dani Olmo had been withdrawn to let Ronald Araajo come after the red card. According to MD, he expressed a lot of joy with the display that he and his teammates produced against Benfica.
“What the team achieved today after broadcasting has a lot of merit. Today we were able to defend and take advantage of the opportunities we had with Raphinha, Lamine and Robert. Balde looked exhausted and everything went up for me, but I knew that I had to run like the best because we had to keep the score for the second stage. “
Barcelona played more than 70 minutes with 10 men, although Pedri believes that Pau Cubarsi should not have been sent away because of the challenge the young defender made, but because he thinks Frenkie de Jong was polluted in the structure by Benfica Striker Vanglidis.
“We believe that the striker has previously made a mistake.”
Pedri won the MVP prize from UEFA, but he could not help to pay tribute to Wojciech Szczesny after the sensational performance of the Polish keeper between the sticks in the Estadio Da Luz, in which he produced eight important rescues.
“It was his best game. The last time we played here, things didn't go well for him and today he saved us many opportunities, especially at the start of the game. It is very large under the sticks. '
