Barcelona star Pedri expressed his physical exhaustion after his team's match against Rayo Vallecano in the 29th round of La Liga, emphasizing the importance of maintaining ball control during matches.

Pedri said: "We failed to control the match, and we lacked that as well as ball possession. In the last 15 minutes, when we were leading 1-0, the opposing team advanced a lot."

He continued: "Rayo Vallecano is a tough team, they play intensely and have fast players, and they perform well from the second line. It's difficult to stop them, but the most important thing is the three points."

Pedri added about the team's physical fatigue: "Fatigue shows in the legs after a Champions League match, and at this time, there are no excuses; we must continue collecting points."
