Barcelona star Pedri confirmed that the team's goal this season is to reach the final of the UEFA Champions League, noting that the physical difference between the clubs that participated in the World Cup and the clubs that had a long rest period will show its impact during the season.

Pedri said: "Our goal for the new season is to reach the final of the UEFA Champions League, that's clear."

Regarding the impact of Hans Flick: "I came out of a difficult period filled with injuries, but he bet on me and encouraged me to keep my confidence. Having a coach who completely believes in me helps me stay calm and enjoy my life as a player. From the outside, Flick may seem serious and straightforward, and he is sometimes, but in reality, he is like a father to us, always listening to our needs. He has given us his winning mentality and the constant desire to give our all."

Pedri recalled his memories with the legend Lionel Messi, saying: "I always passed the ball to him because it was clear he would handle it better than I would. In training, he did amazing and unreal things; we were lucky to see them. It was crazy!"

On the idea of leaving Barcelona after Messi's departure and the team's declining results, Pedri said firmly: "No, never, playing here has been my dream since I was young."
