With his two goals tonight, Lionel Messi (9) is now the joint topscorer in La Liga together with Luis Suárez.
The Argentine forward scored a brace as Barcelona defeated Athletic Club 2-3 at San Mames this evening after Pedri opened scoring for the Blaugrana.
Lionel Messi was named Man of the Match as the win moved Barcelona (17 games played) up to 3rd 7 points behind leaders Atletico Madrid (15 games played) who crashed out of the Copa Del Rey after a 1-0 loss at 3rd Division side UD Cornella today.
Pedri: "We prepared the game well, we knew how they would play, for example looking for Williams' speed. They scored a goal against us very early, but we didn't lower our arms. We had confidence and faith to come back. I'll stick with that."
Pedri: "I had never scored a goal with my head before."
Pedri: "During the 1-2, Leo passes me from behind and he let me knew that he was behind me, otherwise I probably wouldn't have seen him. Then, I gave him the ball."
Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez Gerard Moreno and Iago Aspas are all tied on 9 goals as the race for the Pichichi is getting hot.
