Humble hero Pedro will be missed by Barcelona

The winger is set to complete a move to Manchester United in the next week but will always be remembered at Barcelona for popping up with goals in big games, writes Ben Hayward.

It was his breakthrough year. Promoted to the first team on a permanent basis by Pep Guardiola in 2009-10, Pedro made his mark immediately and etched his name into Barcelona folklore as he became the first player to net in all six competitions in the same season.

Eyebrows were raised by some when Guardiola confirmed the winger would feature full-time in 2009-10, but Pedro soon dispelled doubts.
