Pedri celebrates scoring as Barcelona secures victory against Girona - Carlos Volcano

Pedri made his mark on the scoresheet as Barcelona secured their fifth consecutive victory of the season.

He said afterwards: "It was a difficult match, Girona plays well with the ball. But we started very well, with intensity, and we took the three points.

"We had to start well, other years we didn't start as we would like. The coach has told us to push from the first moment, that you win La Liga in these first matches and if you add points, you'll get ahead.

"We have improved a lot. We are very clear about what the coach is asking of us and how to position ourselves. Today he gave us the first goal with Lamine's pressure."
