Second in the standings, two points behind Real Madrid, the Catalan club must win if they want to come back and overtake their eternal rival in the standings. Questioned by the club media and DAZN, Spanish midfielder Pedri spoke about the meeting.
The Catalan strategist is confident before the game. However, he recognizes that his team will have to have the same level as last season to compete against the Merengues. “Last season, we were at an incredible level, we need to get back to that level. We won all our games against them then, and I hope it will be the same this season. The Clásico is a match that everyone wants to play, and I can’t wait,”
he said at first.
Before continuing: “I want everyone to be available, like the coach and my teammates. These things happen, it's football, and we don't have the squad we would like, but those who are there will give everything and we will fight for the three points. It will be a tough match, but we will try to dominate them and take control. »
Pedri associated with de Jong in the axis?
Pedri has been the real metronome of FC Barcelona since the arrival of Hansi Flick on the club's bench in the summer of 2024. Unless there are any surprises, he should start the game in the starting 11. The only uncertainty is who will accompany him to dictate the game.
A priori, Hansi Flick should trust his captain Frenkie de Jong. A complementary pair that manages to complement each other perfectly and evolve together.
