Pedr’s words on contract renewal

After the match, Pedri reflected on the victory and the renewed confidence it has instilled in the squad. The win has reinforced the team’s determination.

He emphasised that maintaining focus and respecting their opponents were vital aspects of their approach. Despite Brest being seen as an underdog by many, the team understood the risks and worked hard to secure the win.

When asked about the ongoing discussions regarding his contract renewal, Pedri downplayed the topic, indicating that his priority remains on his performances and the team’s goals.

“I don’t know anything, but I always say that I’m doing very well here and I’ll talk to my agent,” he began saying.

The young midfielder made it clear that Barcelona is the club where he feels most at home and where he envisions his long-term future.

“There are still many years ahead of me, but I have always said that this is the club where I want to stay forever. I don’t know anything about today’s meeting,” he added.

Lamine Yamal match analysis

Pedri also provided an update on Lamine Yamal, who has been working hard in training, and while he is eager to return, the focus is on ensuring his recovery is complete to avoid any setbacks.

Drawing from his own experiences, Pedri highlighted the importance of patience in dealing with injuries to avoid relapses.

“Lamine Yamal is training, he has better feelings than before, but above all he wants to come back well, that’s better than relapsing, I know what it’s like,” he said.

Reflecting on the match, the midfielder noted that respecting the opponent was an important part of the fixture.

“The most important thing was to respect the opponent. We knew it was a tough opponent, we didn’t care what people said, we knew they could win and we had to make a big effort.”
