Pedri's was not the only injury of the day for Barça. In addition to Piqué, who left with some muscular discomfort, Araújo relapsed from the injury to his left ankle. In the first tense action he had to play, against En Nesyri, he began to wail about his left ankle. And Koeman intervened. Although then he wanted to play, put Umtiti in.
