It was an open secret, but the club has posted a video with the ‘8’ that Tegueste will wear from now on

Dani Alves is the one who wore it last year and the most emblematic in Barça code in recent history is Iniesta

Pedro Gonzalez will wear the number ‘8’ next seasona. It was an open secret that the Canarian footballer would wear that number. In fact, even his recently created website is accompanied by him and his last autographs were already signed with the number eight. In any case, Barça has made a video official this Friday with Tegueste wearing his new skin.

A mythical number ‘8’ in the Catalan club. The last to wear it was Dani Alves in the second half of last season. Before, Miralem Pjanic. But if we think of someone emblematic in the recent history of the entity with that number engraved on the back, that is Andrés Iniesta. The one from Fuentealbilla did pure magic and the truth is that in Pedri many see an heir, a footballer who resembles the Manchego in his elegant movements on the pitch.

Legends like Giuly, Stoickhov, Cocu, Amor or Albert Celades have also used it.
