The real fee that FC Barcelona paid for its world class midfielder Pedri has been revealed by the president of his boyhood club Las Palmas, Miguel Angel Ramirez.

FC Barcelona coach Hansi Flick downplayed the importance of reclaiming the LaLiga EA Sports lead after a 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano. He praised Rayo’s performance, highlighted Pedri’s talent, and explained Jules Koundé’s benching due to tardiness before the match.

Pau Cubarsi grabbed the badge on his shirt and started to kiss it non-stop as he ran, pointing to the stands. Lamine Yamal caught up with him, bumped into him and tripped the centre back to the ground. Supporters went wild.

After both playing in the Copa Del Rey and having European soccer to worry about midweek, it will be interesting to see how much rotation there is, but for Hansi Flick's Barcelona, there's quite an opportunity to take against Real Sociedad on Sunday.

Following a promising start, a red card for Aritz Elustondo proved pivotal in a 4-0 defeat for Real Sociedad, who were unable to stop a rampant Barcelona from climbing to the top of the LaLiga table.
