"LaLiga is a very important title for us and we are going to go all out for it", adds Pedri who confesses his point to improve with the goal.

I can improve in many things: in decision-making, in reaching the area more, in working more for the team", Explain.

Pedri also highlights Barça's ability to perform at a high level. "When we play well and we're physically fit, the game we play is unstoppable.

On the other hand, Xavi's team is maintaining a good defensive line, well worked according to goalkeeper Ter Stegen. "It's something for the whole team. If everything goes against you, you as a goalkeeper also suffer. I could have been better, but now I'm in a very good moment. As a team we are working very well defensively and that is the objective, to maintain that stability", points out the German.

"We are working hard so that the opponent does not have that facility to finish off or to score goals," he adds, in an interview that will be broadcast during the preview of the match at the Cívitas Metropolitano. On the other hand, Ter Stegen will assess the adaptation of striker Robert Lewandowski

"It is not necessary to explain a lot to him either. What I could do, I have done. Because of the language, he is trying to integrate a lot and that helps him and all his teammates. We knew what we were going to sign and this is what he does, even better than we could have imagined", he explains about the Pole.
