"Barcelona wonderkid Pedro 'Dro' Fernandez made his UEFA Champions League debut today, starting on the left wing against Olympiacos at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys in Montjuic. And it proved to be a memorable one for Dro as the Blaugrana went on to secure a 6-1 win over the Greek giants, with Fermin Lopez, positioned as the attacking midfielder, grabbing a hat-trick."
"And the 17-year-old's night was crowned with an assist for Fermin's second goal, with the youngster playing his fellow La Masia graduate through on goal after some good work by Pedri to reclaim possession. With that, at 17 years and 282 days, Dro became the second-youngest player to assist a goal on his Champions League debut, behind only Giovanni Reyna (17 years and 97 days) with Borussia Dortmund."
Pedro 'Dro' Fernández started on the left wing in his UEFA Champions League debut against Olympiacos and helped Barcelona to a 6-1 victory. He played under an hour before being substituted for Frenkie de Jong but delivered the assist for Fermin López's second goal after Pedri helped recover possession. At 17 years and 282 days he became the second-youngest player to provide an assist on a Champions League debut, behind Giovanni Reyna. The display marked an improvement from his La Liga debut, showing greater comfort, expressiveness and a tendency to drift into central areas. The match was his second first-team appearance of the season.
