Pedri’s Injury Is Not As Serious As First Thought – Xavi

Barcelona manager Xavi has come out to claim that the club has handled its squad well this season. He recently revealed this despite facing new injuries to Frenkie de Jong and Pedri, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the club has done amazingly well to prevent injuries in recent times, and the Pedri case is all the proof you need to understand what he is saying.

Xavi added that Pedri’s latest injury is not as serious as first thought, and he will surely come back stronger.

His words, “What we are trying to do is prevent injuries, I think we have done an impeccable job, especially Pedri. I have already told him that it is the last injury. It is not as serious as first thought. I’m sure he will come back and he will be important. He is not the first player that this has happened to.”

WOW.

Futbol Club Barcelona, commonly referred to as Barcelona and colloquially known as Barça, 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.

There is often a fierce rivalry between the two strongest teams in a national league, and this is particularly the case in La Liga, where the game between Barcelona and Real Madrid is known as “The Classic” (El Clásico).

From the start of national competitions the clubs were seen as representatives of two rival regions in Spain: Catalonia and Castile, as well as of the two cities. The rivalry reflects what many regard as the political and cultural tensions felt between Catalans and the Castilians, seen by one author as a re-enactment of the Spanish Civil War. Over the years, the head-to-head record between the two clubs is 102 victories for Madrid, 100 victories for Barcelona, and 52 draws.
