Pedri breaks Barcelona record previously held by Lionel Messi after reaching notable milestone

Pedri has etched his name into the Barcelona history books by surpassing a long-standing record previously held by the legendary Lionel Messi. The midfield maestro achieved a significant career milestone during the victory over Osasuna, cementing his status as the indispensable heartbeat of Hansi Flick’s rejuvenated Blaugrana side.

Pedri reached a remarkable landmark during Barcelona’s 2-1 win at El Sadar, officially recording his 200th start for the Catalan giants. By doing so at just 23 years and 159 days old, the Canary Islander became the youngest player in the club’s history to hit this figure. He successfully eclipsed the previous benchmark set by Messi, who reached the double-century of starts at 23 years and 227 days, as well as Xavi Hernandez’s earlier record.
