Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman admits he's excited by the potential of Pedri and Ansu Fati.
Koeman hasn't been able to work with Fati since the early rounds of the season after the teen suffered a knee injury.
But he says, "Talking about young people is also nice, they deserve it, but they are also people who still have to learn a lot, because they are 17 or 18 years old in the sense of Ansu and Pedri, but what they have done, to be at the highest level in Barça's first team is something very big.
"In Pedri's case, at his age, coming from Las Palmas and already playing in games against Madrid or Juventus and with the level he has shown, it's fantastic. For a club to have young people who have opportunities, we must change the team little by little, we still need to have the greats, but they will not be so for our whole life and we must look for changes with time, with tranquility, and, once again, Pedri has won his minutes in the games in training because he has shown me to be very good and that he can play for a team like Barcelona."
