Pedri was the icing on the cake for Decathlon at its event at the Barcelona Forum.
The French sports company held this Thursday and Friday the largest experience it has ever held in Spain to date and welcomed more than 500 people who were waiting to meet the Canarian.
The Barcelona footballer met with the fans who wanted to attend the event, and when asked by those present, he highlighted some interesting facts. One of them was the defender who has been the most difficult to overcome: "I have to say that he looks big on TV, but Van Dijk is even bigger on the pitch. I recently played against him, and it's very difficult to get away from him."
He highlighted that his worst moment was the period when he suffered so much from injuries and also pointed out where he took refuge: "In my family, who are always there. My worst moment was the time with the injuries. It's not an exact moment, but those moments. It was complicated, but I trained even more if I could, and now I'm healthy."
He also confessed what he felt when making his debut with the first team of the Blaugrana: "It was a dream, since I was a kid I used to go everywhere with the Barça shirt on, and when you enter and make your debut with what for me is the best team in the world, it's incredible."
Finally, he revealed the reason for his characteristic celebration: "I celebrate like this for my father. One day I was eating at home with him and I wanted to dedicate my goals to him because he has always been with me since I was a child. Since the whole family wears glasses, we came up with that gesture."
