‘Very tough defeat’ - Pedri rues Barcelona’s missed chances after Atletico disaster

Barcelona midfielder Pedri admitted Saturday’s defeat to Atletico was tough to take after seeing the Catalans beaten 2-1 at home in La Liga.

Pedri scored and was the best player on the park by a mile at Montjuic but admitted his team’s failure to take their chances proved costly.

“It was a very tough defeat, to be honest. We had chances to close the game and when you don’t close it out, what happens happens. They catch us on the counterattack, and we have to be more prepared. The defeat is quite tough,” he told the media.
