PEDRI
The FC Barcelona midfielder Pedri pointed to a poor performance by his team as part of the blame for the defeat (0-1) against Leganés this Sunday, where they extended a “bad streak” in the League, without the intensity that they put in the Champions League.
“We have to enter the game better. When a team like this scores a goal against you away from home, they put a lot of people behind. We have had chances, we have lacked that spark, we have to have clarity in front of goal if we want to win the games,” he said in statements to Dazn after the home defeat.
