Xavi’s Tactical Brilliance: Barcelona’s Thrilling Win and Pedri’s Impact Against Real Betis

In a thrilling La Liga encounter over the weekend, Barcelona showcased an inspired performance, securing a 4-2 victory against Real Betis. Xavi’s calculated risks paid off, with second-half substitute Joao Felix scoring a remarkable goal and Ferran Torres securing a memorable hat-trick.

One keen Barca fan, Domagoj Kostanjšak, took particular notice of Xavi’s strategic use of Pedri in the game. The midfielder played for approximately 70 minutes before being substituted for Fermin Lopez, injecting additional energy into the midfield.

Expressing his satisfaction on Twitter, the fan stated, “I’m quite happy with Pedri getting a good 60 minutes of most games before getting subbed off. It sure beats playing him 90+ minutes for a few weeks without resting and then breaking him for the remainder of the season. Xavi’s subs were spot on last night.”

Pedri’s impact in the match against Betis was undeniable, contributing to Ferran’s first goal, creating two chances, and maintaining an impressive 89% passing accuracy throughout the game. Xavi’s astute substitutions and strategic use of players continue to garner praise as Barcelona navigates through a season filled with challenges.
