Barcelona’s victory over Atlético Madrid left somewhat of a bitter aftertaste given Pedri was forced to leave the pitch after falling to the ground with an apparent injury. However, the midfielder has since come out and delivered a message that will have Barça fans breathing a huge sigh of relief.
Pedri was the best player on the pitch in Barcelona’s 3–1 victory over Atlético Madrid. After a month-long absence due to a hamstring injury suffered in October’s Clásico defeat, the midfielder returned to the XI to orchestrate arguably Barça’s best performance of the season.
That’s why when he left the pitch in the 74th minute in what looked like discomfort, alarm bells were immediately raised. But a few hours after the match, Pedri took to social media and shared two simple words that eased the tension.
“All good!” he wrote on Instagram.
One of the other recently injured players that was pivotal for Barcelona’s victory against Atlético Madrid was Raphinha. The Brazilian scored the equalizer from a Pedri assist and left the pitch at the same time as the midfield maestro.
Following the game, Raphinha revealed he felt fatigued and asked to be substituted, admitting he believed Pedri was also the victim of exhaustion, discarding any potential injury.
