"Last year against this same opponent, we managed to score four goals in [55] minutes. If any team can do it again, it's us. We have a young squad, and that also means a touch of recklessness and madness. We believe in our chances until the very end."
"It was our worst first half of the season with and without the ball. We were completely outplayed. We didn't do anything we're known for. But football gives us a chance for revenge and to turn things around."
"It goes without saying how important Pedri and Raphinha are to any team in the world. When you start pre-season, you say 'hopefully in February, March we'll be fighting for everything."
Barcelona must overcome a 4-0 first-leg defeat against Atletico Madrid in their Copa del Rey semi-final second leg on Tuesday. Midfielder Pedri expressed confidence in a comeback, referencing last season's 4-4 draw at the same stage where Barcelona scored four goals in 55 minutes. Barcelona's first-leg performance was described as their worst of the season, with Atletico dominating through an own goal by Eric Garcia and strikes from Griezmann, Lookman, and Alvarez. Pedri acknowledged the team's youth and belief while admitting they failed to perform their usual style. Atletico Madrid seeks their first Copa del Rey final appearance since winning the competition in 2012/13 under Diego Simeone.
