Fans hail Barcelona’s Pedri for his incredible performance against Sevilla 

Following Pedri's outstanding performance in their 5-1 triumph against Sevilla in La Liga on October 20, Barcelona supporters showed their appreciation on social media. Lamine Yamal set up the young Spanish midfielder's 28th-minute second goal for the side.

In the 24th minute, Robert Lewandowski scored Barcelona's first with a penalty. Yamal precisely sent a through ball to Pedri four minutes later, allowing him to deftly curl it into the goal with his right foot, thereby widening the advantage.

In the 39th minute Lewandowski scored yet another goal; replacement Pablo Torre sealed the victory with two late goals in the 82nd and 88th minutes. In the 87th minute, Sevilla got a consolation goal from Stanis Idumbo.

Following the game, Culers swarmed to X to honour Pedri's incredible performance; several of them drew analogies to the venerable Andrés Iniesta. Here are some of the fans reactions:

Pedri is indeed one of the pillars of the current FC Barcelona squad. He is anticipated to display his heroics against Bayern Munich in the UCL and Real Madrid in the La Liga during FC Barcelona's next 2 fixtures.
