He danced first with the ball in a play during the second half that put the Camp Nou on its feet. He danced happily breaking down Sevilla defenders inside the area, but when he was able to shoot Pedri with his left leg he got that generous soul that he usually does. He didn’t look at Bono’s goal then. He decided to think about aubameyang that he was alone, but he crossed a Sevilla leg to frustrate the first great work of art concocted by the young Canarian prodigy.
“Pedri, Pedri, Pedri…!”, shouted enthusiastically the Barcelona temple, where 76,112 faithful had gathered, the second best entry of the season after the classic with Madrid (86,422). Sorry, the third best attendance because the record for this course corresponds to the women’s classic of the Champions League (91,553). The eighth and penultimate wonder of Pedri to lift the Camp Nou up to take it to paradise.
Not only because of the immense beauty that that goal gave off. Not even because he made fun of Sevilla, with absolute respect, drawing an extraordinarily unreal play. no one imagined that Iniesta I would go back from Japan for seconds. nor what Messiwho was playing in the Parc des Princes, made a fleeting trip from Paris.
“The goal? Similar to the one from Turkey. Whenever I see a leg in front I cut and shoot”
Pedri, Barça player
All this happened on the balcony of the Sevilla area when the clock began to threaten Barça. There were less than 20 minutes to go. And then, the ball, playful she, capricious and dynamic, stopped on the left boot of Pedri. The leather was fused with that delicate foot. From here, he built a monumental work of art.
This time it was in his head. It could also be because she saw it on the video scoreboard replay. His evolution is tremendous, because of his role in the team, because of his goals and his vital importance in this Barcelona. He is one of those footballers who make the difference. https://t.co/jRjgo4ferX

“The goal? Similar to Turkey’s. Whenever I see a leg in front I cut and shoot,” said the Canarian, who did remember what he had just done, something that did not happen to him in Istanbul. From that goal to Galatasaray there was no trace in his memory. The one he signed for Sevilla is never to be forgotten. He cut and kicked.
But he cut two guys with enormous defensive skills, people who have been in football for years and years like Rakitic, the first to fall into Pedri’s trap. Then, he touched Diego Carlos. “Since I shoot I see that he is going to enter”, he affirmed with that hailstone humility that characterizes him.

“Pedri’s goal? It’s hard to explain,” admitted Diego Carlos, Sevilla’s central defender. “We’re defending too low. We had to get the team out of the back quicker,” he said.
Four seconds, four touches

Lopetegui’s team didn’t have time to start from behind. He controlled Pedri with his right, tamed the leather with his left and then invented two fabulous cuts. There were actually two feints. Just four seconds. Just four touches. And all to manage the necessary space because he could not in the first option nor in the second.
“Pedri is already a leader. It was a great goal, he is a superlative player. He always asks for the ball, he reminds me of Andrés, always asking for the ball. He is another type of leader”
Xavi, Barça coach
Four seconds, four touches and Xavi hitting boats of happiness on the band while the Camp Nou went crazy because that boy, a Canary himself, stopped the world during a brief lapse of time where Iniesta, Messi and Pedri converged on the balcony of the area. He already knew that that shot that raised millions of people was going to be a goal. Leo’s goal. But with the right.
