Watch: Gabriel Jesus left amazed by Barcelona teammate’s performance vs Atletico Madrid

Watch: Gabriel Jesus left amazed by Barcelona teammate’s performance vs Atletico Madrid Barcelona’s midfield maestro Pedri may have had a topsy turvy campaign so far, with his lowest point coming in the defeat against Real Madrid. The Spaniard was criticised for his lack of impact in El Clasico . This is coupled with the fact that Pedri is also not a regular for the Spanish national team. However, in Barcelona’s win over Atletico Madrid, Pedri once again showed what he is capable of, producing a solid performance even in the absence of the injured Rodri. Gabriel Jesus hails Pedri’s performance Pedri’s performance against Atletico Madrid did not go unnoticed either, with his own teammate Gabriel Jesus in awe of his display at the Metropolitano. As captured by the Movistar cameras, the Barça new signing was seen speaking to Alejandro Balde on the bench, where he praised Pedri’s performance. “What a player Pedri. An incredible player ,” said the Brazilian, who was left as an unused substitute in the narrow win over Atleti. Balde, too, responded to Gabriel Jesus’ comment, agreeing with the Brazilian’s assessment. “It is very good bro,” he replied. The comments from the two Barcelona stars is hardly surprising as Pedri was indeed a key operator in the middle of the park, especially in the second half where he was able to instill more control to the game and help Barcelona complete the comeback.

The Barcelona star is a part of the Spanish contingent, which is expected to take on Czechia and England in the UEFA Nations League. Pedri is expected to feature prominently in both the matches, given that Rodri is no longer available to Luis de la Fuente due to an injury. Barcelona will hope Pedri can avoid any injuries, considering the fact that Rodri is already unavailable while Frenkie de Jong has just returned from a long injury layoff. Hansi Flick has already taken great care in maintaining game-time for Pedri. It will be disappointing if the Spaniard picks up an unfortunate knock during this international break.
