Pedri found the net late on to save Barcelona after a disappointing showing in their home opener against lowly Cadiz.
After 80 dismal minutes, Barca came alive, scoring twice in the last 10 to edge a well-organised Cadiz side in their home opener, stealing a 2-0 win in their inaugural La Liga fixture in their new stadium.
Pedri should have put Barca ahead within 15 minutes, but put his header into the grateful arms of the goalkeeper — despite having acres of space inside the box. Yamal also came close, seeing his shot wonderfully tipped around the post by Jeremias Ledesma from a tight angle. Ledesma was at it again shortly after, denying Jules Kounde from close range.
Barca continued to attack after the break. Gavi rattled the bar with a header. Robert Lewandowski, who was poor on the day, squandered a chance from close range. Ez Abde forced another save out of the keeper.And finally, the goal came. Ilkay Gundogan found the killer pass — a deft chip over two flailing Cadiz legs. And Pedri provided the finish, sliding in to slot the ball between Ledesma's legs.
