Incredible stat shows how important Barcelona superstar is for both club and country | Barca Universal

"As reported by SPORT, statistics back up the significant improvement in Pedri's fitness levels, with the midfielder missing just one of his last 86 matches for both club and country. The only absence came against Valencia on January 26, 2025, was due to gastroenteritis rather than injury. Since recovering from a knee sprain suffered during Spain's Euro 2024 quarterfinal clash against Germany, the Spaniard has been a constant presence on the pitch."

"Pedri has played 69 of those matches for Barcelona, completing the full 90 minutes in 26 of them, and another 16 for Spain, playing the full match in half. This remarkable consistency has seen him feature in every single fixture under Hansi Flick without any muscle or traumatic injuries. This is a drastic improvement for someone who has considered injury-prone at the start of his career."

"The midfielder, who recently received praise from Olympiacos coach this week, being available for action all the time for has become even more impressive considering Barcelona's injury struggles this season. With players like Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, Dani Olmo, and Fermin Lopez all spending time on the sidelines, Pedri's availability has been a crucial factor in keeping the team's rhythm intact, especially as the Catalans gear up for the all-important Clasico this weekend."
