I Never Said I Won’t Play For Spain Because Of Dani Olmo’s Registration Saga – Pedri

Barcelona midfielder, Pedri has come out to say that it is a lie that he and his fellow Barca players were prepared to snub Spain duty in protest over Dani Olmo’s registration troubles. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he never said he would not play for the national team because of Dani Olmo, and that is nothing but a lie nobody believed.

Pedri added that he has consoled Olmo and Victor amid their registration saga because it is a difficult position to be in.

His words, “They [Olmo and Victor] were in a difficult position. I have tried to console Dani Olmo because making a trip to Saudi Arabia (for the Supercopa de Espana)without knowing if you are going to be able to play is complicated.

I’m not going to say that I’m not going to be with the national team because of Dani Olmo. It’s a lie that I hope no one has believed.”

WOW.

Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.

Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.

The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.

In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
