Pedri talked about El Clasico, according to what was reported by the Spanish newspaper "Marca", saying: "There is a constant desire to participate in El Clasico. We always play that match with great enthusiasm. It is good that we reach the start of the season with good dynamism, and winning the El Clasico will help us to do that."

Every year we start with the intention of fighting for the Champions League, and the reinforcements will help us in that. We will be ready to fight, and Barca has always been among the favourites."

He added, "The competition within the team is always good for everyone and for the coach, and we hope to have a special year."
