Pedri says Barcelona needed to be calmer against Espanyol

Barcelona midfielder Pedri felt his team were guilty of rushing and needed to be calmer during Sunday’s chaotic 2-2 draw at Espanyol.

The teenager gave Barca the lead after just one minute at the RCDE Stadium but the visitors then went behind thanks to goals from Sergi Darder and Raul de Tomas.

However, substitute Luuk de Jong popped up with a 96th minute equalizer to grab a point for Barcelona and ensure the points were shared.

Pedri offered his thoughts after the match and admitted it was still a disappointment despite the late drama.

“We were losing and we got a point but it’s a disappointment because we came for the three points and we only leave with one,” he said.
