Spanish international midfielder Pedri has revealed that Barcelona teammate Lamine Yamal was visibly frustrated with his own performance during Spain’s 2-1 victory over Croatia, despite playing an influential role in the team's attack.
Although the 19-year-old winger repeatedly troubled the Croatian defense throughout the match, he failed to convert several clear goalscoring chances, leaving him visibly annoyed when substituted off. Speaking after the match, Pedri defended Yamal's ultra-competitive mindset, explaining that the young star sets exceptionally high standards for himself and constantly strives to score or assist. Pedri emphasized that even when Yamal does not register on the scoresheet, his presence attracts multiple defenders, creating critical space for teammates and making him a game-changer for both Spain and Barcelona. Yamal has been in stellar international form during the recent match window, having scored against England, bagged a brace against Croatia in Seville, and registered a goal and an assist against the Czech Republic.
