Pedri reveals his new nickname for Barcelona team-mate Marc Casado

Barcelona midfielder Pedri has revealed he has a new nickname for team-mate Marc Casado who has joined him in the Spain squad this time around.

Casado has been rewarded with a call-up after starring for Barca this season and made his debut on Friday in the team’s 2-1 win over Denmark.

Pedri has piled the praise on Casado and reveals what he likes to call his midfield partner.

“He’s a player who has surprised me a lot. He’s had a spectacular start to the season, I’m very happy to have him because of the quality he has in stealing balls, and he contributes a lot with the ball,” he said.
