Farewell Pedro: Thanks for the trophies

The 28-year-old is close to leaving Barcelona but showed just why he has been so special as he sealed the UEFA Super Cup, writes Ben Hayward.

Pedro is signing off in style. The winger is still set to leave Barcelona in the coming days, but his parting gift has handed the Catalan club yet another trophy as the European champions beat Sevilla 5-4 in a thrilling UEFA Super Cup clash in Tbilisi on Tuesday.

The story ends just as it had begun. Pedro came to prominence when he emerged from the bench to score a 115th-minute winner in the UEFA Super Cup against Shakhtar Donetsk as Barca claimed all six trophies under Pep Guardiola in 2009.
