The double against Brest gave Robert Lewandowski 101 goals in the Champions League and became the third player in the history of the competition to exceed the hundred goals mark. This was previously achieved by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Pedri on Lewandowski: “One of the best in history”
Robert Lewandowski was one of the brightest figures of the match against Brest. Pedri also played a very good competition. The young midfielder was very active, he set the pace for each subsequent action, and virtually every pass he made created a threat in front of the French team's goal. He also supported the defense by working intensively in pressing.
It has long been known that Lewandowski is one of the players with whom Pedri gets along best on the pitch. Their cooperation very often brings results in the form of goals or scoring opportunities. But this is also what Hansi Flick wanted, for the Pole to have partners around him who would create opportunities for him.
After the match against Brest, Pedri was asked about Lewandowski's record. He spoke about the Pole briefly, but only in superlatives.
– It's a pleasure to have him on my team. I'm very happy about this. He is one of the best strikers in history, he said in an interview with FC Barcelona's club media.
Pedri has a valid contract with FC Barcelona until the end of next season, just like Lewandowski. However, in the case of the Spaniard, there is a good chance that the contract will be extended. The club hopes that the matter will be closed by the end of this year.
– I have always said that this is the club I always want to play for – he said briefly on the subject.
After five matches in the regular phase of the Champions League, FC Barcelona has 12 points. After Tuesday's matches, it is in second place, only ahead of Inter Milan.
