Xavi was full of praise for Pedri after seeing the midfielder come off the bench to score Barcelona’s fourth goal in Sunday’s win over Valencia.
Pedri had been given a rest at Mestalla but was called for with Barca leading 3-1 but not completely in charge of the game.
The 19-year-old took just minutes to restore Barca’s three-goal lead with a fine strike from outside the penalty area that sealed the win.
Xavi did not hold back after the match when it came to discussing the teenager.
“He gives us a break, he doesn’t lose the ball, he’s both footed.
