'A star is born' - Pedri dazzles for Barca in Turin

Barcelona's 17-year-old midfielder Pedri may not have got on the scoresheet in his side's 2-0 Champions League win over Juventus but the teenager was the unmistakeable star in a victory that gave life to his wounded side and put him on the map.

"The fact he was able to show such skill and character at that age makes me very happy. He is going to be a great player for this Barcelona." "A star is born", said Spanish newspaper Marca, adding:"In Turin everyone was wondering who was this flimsy-looking and gangly youngster who turned into a giant in the Allianz Stadium."

He did have trials at Real Madrid aged 15 but was rejected after his first practice was cancelled due to a snowstorm in the Spanish capital.
