Last night, FC Barcelona fell from a great height against Atlético Madrid. Largely dominant throughout the match, the culé club finally cracked at the last second on a counterattack concluded by Alexander Sorloth (90th + 6'). Frustrating since this allows the Colchoneros to take the lead in La Liga with three points ahead of the Catalans. After the match, Pedri, like many of his teammates, was a bit stunned by the scenario of the match. However, he is already planning for the second part of the season.

At the Movistar microphone, the Spanish international wanted to warn the competitors: “Very hard. We had chances to kill the match. If you don't score… what happens, happens. On this counter, we must be ready. We tried. We put in the intensity, the work. I think Rafa (Raphinha) had two chances, Robert another and I missed an opportunity which required calm and determination. In football, if you don't take advantage of your chances, you lose. At home, this is where it must be difficult to beat us. We have to improve a lot. We wanted to win and be leaders, but that wasn't the case. We need to reset things mentally and physically and take a break. We will come back with the thirst to win and the desire to return to the top” he said.
As a reminder, Barça's next match will be a round of 16 of the Copa del Rey against UD Barbastro, an opponent similar to last year at this stage of the competition. It will take place on January 4 at 7 p.m.
