Eric Garcia lauded midfielder Pedri’s crucial influence after the 2-0 victory over Osasuna, stating that “When things get complicated in midfield, give the ball to Pedri, and he fixes everything.”
Barcelona defender Eric Garcia reserved high praise for midfielder Pedri following the club’s crucial 2-0 La Liga victory over Osasuna.
Garcia, who played in midfield and defence during the match, highlighted Pedri’s ability to handle pressure and control play, especially when facing compact, counter-attacking teams.
Raphinha’s late brace secured the win, extending Barça’s league lead to seven points.
Garcia reflected on the difficulty of the match, noting Osasuna employed a defensive structure similar to Eintracht Frankfurt.
He acknowledged that the team “lacked a bit of tempo” in the first half but emphasized the value of the three points.
He noted the win provided “a calm Sunday” by increasing the gap over rivals like Real Madrid and Villarreal.
The defender, recently renewed at the club, concluded his post-match comments by lauding Pedri’s influence on the squad, stating:
“When things get complicated in midfield, give the ball to Pedri, and he fixes everything.” Garcia also praised the squad’s versatility, which ensures strong competition and keeps “nobody switch[ing] off.”
