Pedri Ready to Create a New Artwork in Istanbul!

Pedri is one of Barcelona's big hopes for the crucial match against Galatasaray, and he has good memories of this club.

According to "Verzeh Se", the father who won the World Cup in the United States after winning the Euro 2024 title and three La Liga titles with Barca, last visited Istanbul on March 17, 2022, in the first leg of the Europa League playoffs.

Those days were a difficult time for Barcelona, a time that promised the emergence of a great successor for Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta. In the hellish atmosphere of the renovated Ali Sami Yen stadium, Padri surprised the Galatasaray fans. After Marcao's early goal in the 27th minute, Pedri created a work of art in the 37th minute. Fran Torres found him in the penalty area and when everyone expected him to shoot at Iñaki Peña's goal, he made two spectacular dribbles to bring down Marcao and Berkan Kotelo before letting the keeper into submission. After that, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored in the 49th minute to give Barca a 1-2 win.

A 23-year-old father had his first European experience on October 20, 2020 against France Varoche with a score of 5-1, the same day he played his first game in the Champions League; A competition in which he has played 44 games so far. This goal, next to the goal scored against Galatasaray, is his only two European goals with a Barca shirt.

According to the special program of Hansi Flick, who considers him a key piece for the future of the team, Padri played only the last half hour of the match against Getafe. This time was enough for him to show off his power by taking the pulse of the game; With a pass accuracy of 92.2% and recording five interceptions, despite sitting on the bench for an hour, Pedri was able to approach the average of 6.125 interceptions per game; The statistic that brings him to the top of the table of the best in La Liga.
