Pedri reveals what Xavi told him before coming on for Barcelona against PSG

Pedri made his return from injury on Wednesday against PSG, coming on as a substitute and helping inspire Barcelona to a 3-2 win.

The visitors were trailing 2-1 when Pedri arrived, but the midfielder helped change the game and provided an almost immediate assist after arriving.

Xavi had provided Pedri with some specific instructions before he came off the bench which he was happy to divulge after the win.

”Xavi simply told me to come on mentally prepared and ready to contribute. He wanted us to push Paris and to squeeze them high up the pitch,” he said as reported by UEFA.
