Pedri González was the standout player for FC Barcelona in the defeat against Atlético de Madrid. The Canary Islander not only scored the goal for the blue and garnet team but also delivered a true masterclass in midfield, although his effort was overshadowed by the unjust final result.
The setback left the squad and the Barcelona fans very shaken, but the blaugrana '8' sent an encouraging and optimistic message through his social media. "We have to turn this anger into fuel. Come back recharged and with the sole purpose of improving, competing again at our best level, and finishing the season at the highest point," commented the Tenerife native.
Pedri has his sights set on the Copa del Rey match
Taking advantage of the holiday season, the player also conveyed a Christmas message to all the fans. "Enjoy your family these days, as we will. It will do us all good. Happy Holidays and Força Barça!", concluded the midfielder, who will enjoy his vacation before returning to training with his teammates on December 29.
The team led by Hansi Flick will have a few days of disconnection ahead of the start of the second half of the season. The blaugranas will debut in 2025 against Barbastro on Saturday, January 4, in the match corresponding to the 1/16 of the Copa del Rey. Subsequently, they will compete for the first title of the season in the Supercopa de España, where they will face Athletic Club in the semifinals and, in a hypothetical final, Real Madrid or Mallorca.
