"People think there's some special meaning behind it, but it's actually simple. When I was a baby, my older brother couldn't pronounce 'Pedro' so he called me "Dro." The name just stuck, especially since there were three players named Pedro when I joined Barça - it helped tell us apart. And honestly, I've grown to really like it,"
"It's a special day for me, one that I'll never forget. I've always dreamed of playing in matches like this, and I'm really happy about it. Flick asks me above all to give my all without the ball, to press a lot, and with the ball, he tells me to enjoy and show what I bring in training. I have a strong desire to play in the El Clàsico."
Seventeen-year-old Dro Fernández made his Champions League debut for Barcelona and provided an assist as Barcelona beat Olympiacos at Montjuïc. The nickname "Dro" originated because an older brother could not pronounce "Pedro," and the name helped distinguish him among three Pedros when joining Barça. Dro is thrilled by the Champions League appearance and aims for increased playing time, targeting minutes in the El Clàsico. Manager Flick emphasizes pressing without the ball and enjoying play with the ball, aligning with Dro's training focus and match contributions.
