'We used a similar system with Koeman': Pedri reflects on Xavi's experimental formation

Barcelona lined up with an experimental three-at-the-back system against Real Sociedad.

Here's what it looks like.

"The 3-4-3 formation helps us pressure the opponent more frequently," Pedri said when asked about the system.

"We applied what the coach said, and we had already used a similar system with Koeman.

"We knew how to win this match. The coach told us to keep possession and apply high pressure. If Real Sociedad have the ball often, they can do a lot of damage.”
