‘Honest’ Spanish Midfielder Pedri Says Barcelona Did Not Deserve to Continue in the Champions League

• Bayern Munich pummeled FC Barcelona into submission during their most-recent clash at the Spotify Camp Nou
• Barcelona were handed an embarrassing three-nil defeat as the Catalan giants suffered their second successive Champions League elimination
• On the back of their disappointing campaign in the UCL, midfielder Pedri has disclosed the Blaugrana did not deserve to continue in the competition

Pedri gave an honest verdict of Barcelona's early UEFA Champions League elimination.

Barcelona knew of their Champions League exit before kick-off against Bayern Munich, rendering the game a dead-rubber encounter.

Unfortunately, the Catalan giants were handed a heavy 3-0 defeat in front of a packed Spotify Camp Nou to underline a disastrous campaign in Europe's premier club competition.

Following the humiliating loss against Bayern, who have become a thorn in the flesh of the Blaugrana in recent times, Pedri admitted his side's output in the Champions League has been a failure.

“Of course, it’s a failure, Barça have to get out of the group and they haven’t because we didn’t deserve to continue in the Champions League," Pedri said as quoted by All Football.

He continued: "We are a very young team, with a lot of room for improvement, we have made great signings, but it has not been enough for us enough to compete in the Champions League and it’s a great disappointment”.

The 19-year-old midfielder revealed his side are a long way off their goals.

“We lack many things, but we have to be self-critical. It is true that in Munich we deserved more, in Milan there were a couple of circumstances… but after seeing what happened today it has been seen that we are not prepared to compete in the Champions League”.
