Pedri identifies the tactical shift behind Barcelona’s 48-goal start

Barcelona midfielder Pedri has explained how Hans-Dieter Flick’s side have managed to produce such an impressive run of goals this season.

Barcelona have scored 48 times in 11 matches in all competitions, winning every game so far. The team’s attacking output has been particularly notable because, in most of those matches, the Catalan club have operated without a traditional number nine.

Pedri outlined the approach that has allowed Barcelona to remain so effective in front of goal, as Flick’s players continue to find different ways to break down opponents.

Barcelona’s next test comes away from home against PSG in the third round of the league phase of the Champions League. The match is scheduled to begin at 22:00.
