In a concerning turn of events, Barcelona was dealt a blow as three of their stars, including Pedri, Lamine Yamal and İlkay Gündoğan, were given starting positions in the Euro 2024 match between Spain and Germany. The early minutes of the game saw Pedri tackled by Toni Kroos from Real Madrid, leaving him with a knee injury that forced him to be substituted off. Despite trying to continue playing, Pedri was unable to do so due to the severity of his injury.
The incident raised concerns among fans as Kroos was not shown a yellow card for the challenge on Pedri. The injury could impact Barcelona’s lineup in upcoming matches depending on the extent of the damage caused by the tackle. The team will have to wait and see before determining the next steps for the young midfielder.
