Flick’s Honest Mic: Pedri’s Brilliance Shines Even When He’s Out, Barca Keeps Calm

Flick dazzled by Barca star

Press Conference Highlights

Hans Flick, the Barcelona coach, responded to a journalist's question before the Barca vs Real Oviedo clash for the 21st round of La Liga.

A journalist asked the German coach before kick-off: "Pedri will miss a month, do you think he is the most special player in the squad, capable of things no one else can do?"

Flick replied: "I can answer easily, yes, he is a unique player, but in the end we must cope with his absence as a team, and we also have plenty of quality even without him".

He added: "Things may be different without him, but we can adapt to the situation".

Pedri was injured in the previous match against Slavia Prague (4-2) in the Champions League.

Barcelona aim to overcome Oviedo and reclaim top spot in La Liga, one point ahead of Real Madrid.

Looking Ahead

With Pedri sidelined, Barcelona look to maintain leadership by leaning on the rest of the squad and tactical adaptability.

Punchline 1: If Pedri’s out for a month, Barca will redefine team chemistry as “we all wait for Pedri”—and the ball will still find the back of the net, somehow.

Punchline 2: If the plan goes sideways, they can blame the calendar—La Liga loves plot twists almost as much as a good coffee during media duties.
