Pedri Jokes He Wants Ferran Torres Kept Quiet in PSG Clash
Pedri has warned Barcelona team-mate Ferran Torres that he hopes the PSG forward draws a blank when the sides meet in midweek.
What we know
- Barcelona are preparing for a major test against Paris Saint-Germain during a demanding run of fixtures under Hansi Flick.
- Spain international Pedri said he remains close to Torres and regularly speaks with him on national-team duty, but wants him to have “no luck” against Barça.
- The match will also bring Pedri up against former Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele.
- Pedri said Dembele produced remarkable moments in training during his Barcelona spell, but believes the France international is now far more consistent and has developed into a world-class player.
- Pedri highlighted PSG’s threat in attack and their ability to control midfield, noting their status as winners of the last two Champions League titles.
- The 23-year-old refused to label the game a final, describing it instead as an important measure of Barcelona’s current level and a chance to continue their positive momentum.
Next step: Barcelona face PSG test
Barcelona will take on Luis Enrique’s PSG in midweek, with Flick’s side aiming to match a squad Pedri believes has quality throughout the pitch.
“It is a difficult game against a strong opponent, but it is not a final,” Pedri said. “We want to win and keep our good run going. It is a game to see where we are.”
