Barcelona youngster Pedri has expressed mixed emotions about his team’s thrilling 4-4 draw against Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey. Despite going down 2-0, Barcelona made a stunning comeback to take the lead at one point before ultimately collapsing.
Pedri praised his teammates for their resilience, saying, “It’s not the worst result… We threw the game away in the league as well.” He also highlighted the team’s ability to bounce back from adversity, noting that they had played well against Atletico in both legs so far.
However, Pedri emphasized that individual performances are not what matters most. “I feel important,” he said, “but I prefer the team to win and for people to talk about the team.”
Despite the draw, Barcelona has full confidence in their team and will look to capitalize on their home advantage in the return leg on April 2. The tie is now on a knife-edge, setting up an exciting second leg.
