Barcelona midfielder on possibility of winning La Liga vs Real Madrid: ‘Something historic’ | OneFootball

Barcelona may have lost out on the UEFA Champions League this season, but there is still a lot to look forward to in these final weeks.

For starters, the Clasico this weekend is a massive one, which could see Barcelona crowned champions in a direct game against Los Blancos for the first time in history.

In addition, there are the side objectives of securing the Zamora trophy, reaching 100 points in the league and even possibly planning ahead of the new season.

Pedri speaks ahead of the Clasico

Speaking to the media in a recent interview, Barcelona midfielder Pedri Gonzalez was asked about the team’s chances of finishing the season on 100 points and was asked if it was an objective Hansi Flick had in mind.

“Yes, it’s a goal for the coach and for all of us. This is an achievement that has only been accomplished a very few times and will remain etched in history,” he said.

Elaborating on the two clear objectives the dressing room has for this season, Pedri said,

“We have two opportunities ahead: winning El Clasico and securing the league title in that match, and of course, the 100-point goal is on our minds, but we must win first to be able to reach it.”

He was then asked if he felt the league title would be decided this weekend in El Clasico, to which he said,

“We hope so; that’s what we want, and we’ll try to make it happen. It’s clear that it won’t be easy and they won’t hand us anything, but we hope we can win and celebrate.”

Finally, Pedri confirmed that the team would give their all to make history by winning La Liga with a direct win over Real Madrid for the first time.

“Yes, this is something historic and it will stay in the memory. That’s why we’re so excited, because this opportunity doesn’t come every day, and we must seize it.”
