"Barcelona" club head coach Hansi Flick commented before the upcoming match against "Real Oviedo" on Lamine Yamal's earned second place in the "Ballon d'Or" awards, his injury status, Ousmane Dembélé, the intrigue in the title race, and Pedri's 11th place in these awards:

"For L. Yamali, this will be motivation for many coming years.

He took it positively. The Spaniard will have opportunities to win in the "Ballon d'Or" awards."

"L. Yamali is nearing a return; yesterday and the day before the wing-back trained excellently.

Things look very good."

"O. Dembélé also deserves to win this award. It is a prize where votes are cast, and anything can happen."

"Real Madrid? Perhaps winning the "La Liga" championship this season will not be as easy as last season."

"Pedri in 11th place in the "Ballon d'Or" awards? The main focus is on attacking players, but when a player of the status of Paulo Scholes praises Pedri...

It means a lot because he was an excellent midfielder and knows what he is talking about."

22-year-old Pedri scored 6 goals in 59 matches last season.
