"Barcelona" club's winger Raphinha, after a 4-1 victory over "Girona", did not hold back praises for Pedri and mentioned Hansi Flick's trust in the Brazilian:

"Pedri doesn't have many assists and doesn't score many goals... But I believe he is the most important player on our team.

I think Pedri is the heart of the team."

"H. Flick has clearly explained everything to me since day one: the German stated that he believes in me and that I will be a very important player.

I think this changed my mindset somewhat when I was considering whether to stay with the team or leave it."

28-year-old Raphinha has scored 27 goals in 42 matches this season.
