Pedri on Real Madrid trial: I looked at the badge & knew something wasn’t quite right

Pedri has been talking about the time he had a trial at Real Madrid and how he realized he was at the wrong club as soon as he put the shirt on.

The 18-year-old has previously admitted that Real Madrid turned down the chance to sign him after a week’s trial after telling him he wasn’t good enough.

The Barcelona midfielder has now offered a bit more detail on his encounter with Los Blancos and says he didn’t feel quite right wearing the white shirt.

“In the first few days I was there, when I put on the kit, I looked at the badge and I knew something wasn’t quite right,” he said.
