Catalan Barcelona manager Pedri continues to rewrite the history of the club. In an important match against Osasuna at the El Sadar stadium, which ended with a 2:1 victory for the Blaugranas, the Spaniard reached a significant milestone in his career. The appearance on the field at the starting warehouse became Pedri's 200th for the Barcelona football player.

The native of the Canary Islands has a history of 23 years and 159 days.. In this manner, he officially surpassed the record of the legendary Lionel Messi, who celebrated his 200th start in 23 days and 227 days. Having lost and shown another symbol of the club - Javi Hernandez.

The stability of the 23-ranked playmaker is even more impressive given the high competition in the middle line, where talents such as Gavi appear. The head coach of the team, Hansi Flick, has repeatedly said that Pedri is an important pillar of his tactical scheme.. Technical mastery and the ability to dictate the pace of play are indispensable in this model of Barcelona.

Pedri's contribution to the success of the Catalans during the current season is important to re-evaluate: In 26 matches for La Lisa, he scored 2 goals and provided 8 assists. Pedri plays a key role in securing a 14-point lead at the top of the table with four rounds to go.

While Pedri enjoys the status of a record holder, experts say that the new prodigies of La Masia are already dying in his back. The rapid progress of Lamin Yamal and Pau Kubarsi suggests that this century-old record may be updated again. Today, Pedri himself is deprived of the undisputed leader and creative center of the team, which is tied to the championship title.
