"I will always be grateful to Koeman because he gave me my debut, trusting me when I was a nobody. Xavi helped us revive our enthusiasm, winning a league title that no one expected. He's also a club legend who helped us a lot and put his faith in young players. With Flick, we've taken another step forward in terms of competitiveness, trying to fight for every title. He has that German seriousness that characterises him. He's serious when he needs to be, and when it's time to laugh,"
"When I was born, they put me in a Barça shirt. My grandfather and my father were die-hard Barça fans and they passed that on to me. I'm a Barça fan who is lucky enough to play for his team. I'm living a dream and I realise that every day when I wake up."
"I've experienced a big change since I arrived, yes. It seems like yesterday, but it's been over five years. During this time, I've learned a lot from my teammates and the captains I've had. And yes, now I feel like I'm in a leadership position within the team."
Pedri remains sidelined after missing Barcelona's last three fixtures due to injury, with cautious optimism that he could return shortly after the international break. A comeback against Athletic Club is possible, while a more realistic target is Real Betis in early December. He continues structured rehabilitation and mental preparation away from the pitch. Pedri describes over five years of development at the club, feeling he has grown into a leadership role. He expresses deep personal ties to Barça through family and thanks Koeman, Xavi and Flick for their roles in his debut, revival and competitive progress.
