Pedri says Barcelona must be stronger at home after Galatasaray draw

Barcelona midfielder Pedri has called on his team to be stronger at home after being held to a goalless draw in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 tie with Galatasaray.

The hosts went into the game on a four-game winning streak but endured a frustrating evening against the Turkish side.

Barca dominated the match but could not find a way past goalkeeper Inaki Pena, and Pedri says they must do better on their own turf.

“Mentally, a 0-0 is not what we wanted. We wanted to win and score many more goals and it was not possible,” he said.
