Barcelona: Barça is taking a long time to renew Pedri

When Pedro smiles, Barça has a blast. And this season the canary thing is a daily spectacle. Someone changed Pedri in the summer. He is no longer the player who gets injured and appears in dribs and drabs. You can see him enjoying himself on the playing field.has become Barcelona’s driving force with that mix between Xavi and Iniesta, he scores goals, assists… The second goal against Sevilla is a true marvel that demonstrates the great change in this player. He steals the ball in his own field and begins a powerful sprint following the play that ends with a ball that reaches him in front of him to shoot and put it into the top corner.

Pedri has become one of the keys to this Barça with Flick. It is true that the greatest praise goes to Lewandowski, Lamine and Raphinha, who are the team’s scorers, but none of that could be understood without the contribution of the Canary Islander. He is everywhere, recovering balls and distributing play. Barça has already started talks to renew his contract that ends in 2026. They should hurry because if they continue like this they will receive offers from all sides.

What of Inigo Martinez It is also worthy of praise. He’s having a spectacular season. He has taken over the starting position and no one disputes it anymore. His strength is a guarantee for the team reaching the cut and fighting with the strongest rivals. And, many times, must be multiplied by two to cover Bucket who often gets lost in the attack and neglects to go back.

What a rhythm it has Robert Lewandowski. He doesn’t forgive. In each game he leaves his mark in the form of a goal. In the previous game against Alavés he scored a hat-trick. Against Sevilla there were ‘only’ two. And it could have been someone else. But it’s not just the goals, the Pole is fine with good movements and looking for his teammates. Excellent news for Barça. There is no champion team without a great scorer.

Ansu Fati He started for the first time this season although it was due to Eric García’s injury in the warm-up. It was a good opportunity to vindicate himself with the aim of recovering the starting position he had a few years ago. Things didn’t work out. Ansu lacks confidence. It is true that the other forwards are getting out, but they have to take a step forward.

The one who took Gavi when he came out to warm up. The entire stadium began to applaud and chant his name. The culerada wants Gavi. It has been eleven months of waiting and everyone hopes to see the best version of the midfielder again. And the applause became thunderous when he entered the field with all his teammates also applauding. And the great detail from Pedri that gave him the captain’s armband.
