You don’t have to obsess with this type of player, just be focused throughout the match. Don’t put more pressure on yourself than you already have. I have faced other great players and I deal with it naturally."</p>

WHAT PEDROSA SAID

<p>Yamal has registered five goals and as many assists for Barcelona this season, through 11 appearances in all competitions.
