Pedri says that facing Real Madrid in El Clasico will provide the “greatest motivation” to Barcelona following their midweek defeat to PSG in the Champions League.
The loss at the Parc des Princes was the first time that Barcelona have tasted defeat this season but Pedri thinks his team can try and use it to their advantage.
“Coming back to victory in #ElClásico is a great challenge and the greatest motivation,” he said in a post on Instagram.
“In front of PSG we compete, in front of a great rival and
on a great stage, and we know the way. We have confidence and we have football. Here we go!”
Barcelona are set to welcome Rodri back to the starting XI on Sunday for El Clasico after the midfielder was given something of a breather against PSG in midweek.
However, Hansi Flick is still expected to be without Eric Garcia, Jules Kounde and Andreas Christensen for the match. Dani Olmo has also been sidelined after sustaining an injury against PSG.
