Barcelona star Pedri was the goalscorer as the Blaugrana beat Getafe 1-0 in their La Liga home clash on Sunday (January 22). The youngster, though, performed an interesting celebration after his goal, pointing to his hair.
Speaking to the media after the conclusion of the game, the 2021 Kopa Trophy winner was quizzed about the reason behind his celebration. Pedri replied (via Diario AS):
“It’s for my cousin Abraham who is bald.”

The Spaniard was not very happy with the win against Getafe, telling the media (via Barca Universal):
“We didn’t have a good game. We kept a clean sheet, but we could have done much better, We need to play better at home. I think the mental fatigue is noticeable. This is an important victory, but we didn’t do well at all.”
Speaking about the performances of his teammates, manager Xavi Hernandez said:
“Ansu Fati had a good game. He couldn’t get too many chances because Getafe defended with all of their men in the box. Balde was good, but we brought in Alba as a tactical change. We needed him to support the midfield. Christensen was replaced as he had some discomfort. I think he will be ready for the next match.”
