The arrival of Pedri at Barcelona had a scene that the Spanish midfielder will never forget. In the midst of the pandemic and at just 17 years old, the Canarian showed up for the first time at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper without even knowing where to go. What he didn't expect was to run into Lionel Messi as soon as he walked through the door of the players' area.
In an interview with The Players' Tribune, the 23-year-old footballer fondly recalled his first days with the Catalan team. His arrival took place in mid-2020, during the coronavirus pandemic, and was accompanied by a scene that he still remembers.
Pedri shared that he traveled with his brother and arrived by taxi at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper because neither of them had a driver's license. Upon entering the facility, he didn't even know where to go. However, everything changed when he walked through the door that led to the players' area.
