“We are not unparalleled because we have lost some games (previously).” Barcelona midfielder Pedri said. “Some things need to be improved and we have to be self-critical. But we have performed well and are confident.
“I think high pressure is what defines us. The forward line, the intensity we play, keep calm on the ball… The attacker makes a difference, it shows.”
