Xavi goes crazy for Pedri after Barcelona’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... he’s superlative,” he said.
