One player Pedri must thank for goal v Rayo — Xavi keeps benching him

Pedri has only completed three full games this season. He didn't do that in Barca's last game against Rayo Vallecano but he did score two goals — as many as he has managed in his previous 32 games.

One man Pedri must thank for his first goal in that game is Joao Felix. The Portuguese also came off the bench to spark the game into life.

He received the ball just inside the box, joggled it past three defenders, beat a fourth and toe-poked a shot toward the stunned Rayo goalkeeper. The keeper made the save but the shot ricocheted to Pedri who blasted it into the upright and in.

Take a look.

Pedri was put through on goal by a sublime pass from Araujo to score his second but that first goal was the pick of the lot. And Felix is him.

Unfortunately, Xavi still doesn't see the Atletico Madrid loanee as a starter.
