"It has not been a good season"

Barcelona midfielder Pedro Gonzalez 'Pedri' said on Sunday, after beating Rayo Vallecano (3-0) and securing second place in La Liga, that "it has not been a good season" for the club, who will finish the campaign without lifting any trophies, but that the team "needed to finish in second place".

"We were focused on this game to close it now and go to Seville without anything to play for," said the Canary Islander, scorer of two goals in the match, in statements to 'DAZN', referring to the last game of the season against Sevilla next Saturday.

On his performance against Rayo, Pedri explained that when he came on in the 62nd minute to replace Fermin Lopez, he had "many ball losses", but the two goals "give you a lot of confidence". "I've made a lot of effort to be well at the end of the season and we're seeing the results", celebrated the midfielder.

Finally, he avoided commenting on the uncertainty over Xavi Hernandez's future on the Barca bench. He said: "We're more focused on what's happening on the pitch than off it.
