Barcelona vs Valencia: Three players who impressed for the Blaugrana at the Mestalla

2. Pedri:

Perhaps the most talented midfielder in Barca right now is Pedri. The 19-year-old, who has missed several matches this season due to injury, was subbed on in the second half just after Valencia had scored and were on the front foot. With the arrival of Pedri, Barca once again got control in the midfield and he was instrumental in extending the lead in the 63rd min. His attempt from outside the box took a slight deflection off Aubameyang’s back and went past Mamardashvili in Valencia’s goal. The goal which was originally given to Pedri was later awarded to the Gabonese striker after the match.

"“There is no player in the world with as much talent as Pedri — and he is only 19!” the Barca coach said in his post-game news conference. “He is absolutely superlative. How he turns, his understanding of space and time, and the fact he uses both feet. It is amazing to have him in the team and we must take care of him.” -Xavi ( Source: ESPN)"
