Watch: Xavi goes absolutely ballistic watching Pedri’s Barcelona stunner

The Spain international has been a standout performer under Xavi’s new regime in Catalonia, and the 19-year-old showcased his incredible talent once more to help Barca leapfrog Sevilla into second place in the Spanish top-flight.

“Pedri is a very important player who makes the difference,” Xavi said about his compatriot post-match.

“He played a perfect match, like the rest of the team. A player like Pedri should finish the season with a lot more goals. We are working on that.
