Pedri: Araujo's Pre-Match Words Inspired Us, and I Have Not Yet Reached My Best Version
Barcelona player Pedri expressed his great happiness after his team won the 2026 Spanish Super Cup title following a 3-2 victory over Real Madrid in the final, emphasizing the significant role his teammate Ronald Araujo played in motivating the team before the match started.
Pedri said: "I am happy with the team's victory and winning the title. We knew Real Madrid would come with great enthusiasm, and we were also excited after the last Clasico. In the final minutes, I felt a bit tired, but our determination did not waver."
Pedri added about the match events and his teammates’ performance: "From the start, things began to move, and we knew the second half would be tough, so we went out with all our strength to achieve the win."
He continued talking about his teammate Raphinha, saying: "Raphinha adds a lot to the team, scores many goals. Last season he performed wonderfully but people did not appreciate him. He is truly a distinguished player."
Pedri concluded his talk by praising the team captain: "Araujo adds a lot to us. The words he spoke before going out to the field inspired us and made us start the match with strong determination. Everyone will still be able to see a better version of me, as I am still young and learning every day."
