Concern in Barcelona for a new injury to Pedri
Pedri’s third muscle injury in the last six months once once more causes fear in the team regarding the player’s future. Moisés Llorens explains it.
The 16-year-old youth squad player was once once more the protagonist of Barça and key in the comeback once morest Villarreal, to the extent that Xavi no longer has to miss Dembélé or worry regarding Raphinha’s loss.
BARCELONA — Xavi said, repeated and proclaimed that Ousmane Dembélé had (is supposed to have) all the conditions to be one of the best footballers in the world in his position. When the Frenchman forced his departure to PSG, the coach lamented the loss of him out loud and demanded (quietly but insistently) a signing to take his place. Played three days of the League, nobody at Barça remembers Dembélé. And few, it is supposed, should sigh with the return of Raphinha, once his sanction has been completed.
In the summer of 2007 Ludovic Giuly refused a renewal offer from Barça because, he argued, he did not want to end his career watching from the bench that young man who had taken his job and who was called Leo Messi. The Frenchman quickly understood that ‘La Pulga’ was going to make Barça history and with all his humility he preferred to go to Rome… After 16 years, a 16-year-old boy who cannot, of course, be compared to the best footballer in the history of the club, he has reached the first team breaking down all kinds of logic.

If in his debut as a starter he was the best footballer once morest Cádiz, the victory at Villarreal might not be understood without his participation. As daring and brash as he was brilliant, he did not need to score to once once more be the most prominent, decisive and key player in explaining the champion’s victory. So much so that before the month of September, nobody remembers that irreverent Dembélé and voices are increasing that consider Raphinha’s return to ownership very doubtful because, at the age of 16, Lamine Yamal has won the position with scandalous authority.
FERRAN TORRES
Unpublished in the Getafe debut, Xavi gave him five minutes once morest Cádiz and opened his scoring chart, celebrating his goal with rage… And he was a substitute once more at Villarreal… And he scored once more, a transcendental goal, on the 3rd -3 at a decisive moment. He scored and, apart from that, since he took over from Oriol Romeu, he gave Barça more attack options in the final half hour, thanking Lewandowski for his entry because the team, in addition to combining in the middle, also did so in stroke.
TER STEN
He celebrated his renewal by conceding three goals… But being fundamental under the sticks. He saved the entry team with two great interventions and despite the first two by Foyth and Sorloth he did not collapse, nor when Baena scored 3-2. The revival of Barça must be understood in global confidence and, also, in the delivery of the ball by the German goalkeeper, never hasty and always judiciously.
