During the press conference, midfield star Pedri spoke about the anticipated match, emphasizing the importance of the game and his roles within the team, with his most notable statements being as follows:

Regarding the advice from Luis Enrique to him in the past, he said: "The same thing, to enjoy and show myself, and the more I touch the ball, the better it is for the team, and these are things that stay in your mind."

On how he feels as a leader, he continued: "The coach conveys that to me, he wants me to take an extra step, not just on the field but also in the locker room, it has been difficult because I came as a child, but I am starting to feel more important and taking on this role little by little."

On the confrontation against Vitinha: "We are players who love to have the ball, and we are not the ones who chase it, in fact, the trio that will play in midfield for each team will have an important role, and it could tilt the balance in favor of either side."

On visiting his injured teammates, he said: "These are tough moments, we try to lift their spirits and make them smile, they will come back stronger, both are fighters and we will see them soon with great enthusiasm."

Regarding his position in the Ballon d'Or, he confirmed: "I feel appreciated at the club and the national team, and that is the most important thing, I also feel responsible on the field and sense the support of the fans."

On Paris Saint-Germain's style of play: "I prefer to play against a team like Paris Saint-Germain because they also want to take the initiative and do not close spaces at the back, which makes it easier for us to create chances."

On his physical development, he noted: "The physical preparation at the club has changed radically, playing every three days is enjoyable, but it is true that sometimes you feel heavier in your legs."

On what Aitana Bonmatí said about him: "If she is the one saying it, we should believe her, she has won three Ballon d'Ors, you can't do things better than her."

On the desire for revenge against Paris Saint-Germain, he added: "Everyone who belongs to Barcelona wants to get this revenge, in the following season, you can always reclaim what you lost, and we all want to play these matches."

On the importance of midfield in the match: "It is a match where both teams will want to have the ball, we are a brave team and I believe we will succeed in that."

On Paul Scholes praising him, he said: "It is a beautiful thing and I consider it a motivation for me, I know it is hard to reach the level of Xavi and Iniesta, but the words of praise remain wonderful."

He concluded his statements by saying: "I think it is one of the best matches that can be played at the club level, Paris Saint-Germain is one of the best teams in the world, and I consider us to be the best, it will be a great match."
