"I appreciate a lot what I saw today.""
Barcelona beat Slavia Prague 4-2 away, with Fermín López scoring a first-half brace and Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski also on target on a freezing night in Prague. Pedri was forced off early in the second half with a hamstring problem and will undergo tests in Barcelona to determine the severity. Hansi Flick confirmed the hamstring issue and described it as "not good news." Pedri had missed five games earlier this season with a hamstring issue and missed another game in December with a calf problem. The victory secured a vital place in the Champions League top eight for Barcelona.
