Sound the alarm! Per body: Pedri has only rested 1 game since the 24th European Cup and has played 48 consecutive games.

Barcelona defeated Olympiacos 6-1 in the Champions League in midweek. At the weekend, they will go to the away game to start a national derby with Real Madrid. "Daily Sports" counted Pedri's playing time and said that Barcelona needs to sound the alarm for this.

Pedri was the key to Barcelona's brilliant achievements last season. He helped the team win the league, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup, but unfortunately stopped in the semi-finals of the Champions League. The 22-year-old genius has become the midfield commander under Flick, and he has done so this season.

If Pedri is lost, Barcelona's operation may come to a standstill. Many people are now worried that once the core midfielder's condition declines, the team's overall performance will be affected.

This sustained highlight is largely due to his injury-free physique. Pedri is one of four Barcelona players who have never missed a game due to muscular or traumatic injuries during Flick's tenure, the others being Szczesny, Kubasi and Gerard Martin.

Barcelona's long injury list prevents Flick from resting Pedri as he wishes. Garvey, Fermin, Olmo, De Jong and Bernal have entered the medical room one after another this season. The team's midfield is tight but has not collapsed - precisely because of Pedri. He is tied with Conde, Eric Garcia and Rashford as the players who have attended all 12 official games of Barcelona so far this season.

Data shows that Pedri almost never stops during the critical stage of the season. He has played 48 consecutive games for the club and national team. His last absence dates back to January 26, 2025. He missed the 21st round of La Liga against Valencia last season due to gastroenteritis.

In these 48 games, he represented Barcelona in 32 games and the national team in 16 games, playing the full game 22 times in total. These exaggerated statistics not only prove Pedri's core position on the court, but also sound the alarm about the risks of overuse.

Pedri's last injury dates back to the European Cup quarter-finals against Germany on July 5, 2024. A sprain on the inside of his left knee forced him to sideline for a month and missed the European Cup semi-finals and finals. But he recovered in time and faced the new Barcelona season in perfect condition.

Since that injury, Pedri has played in 85 of a possible 86 games. Among them, 69 games were played for Barcelona (26 games were played for the whole game), and 16 games were played for the national team (8 games were played for the whole game).

Since last season, Pedri has averaged 75 minutes per game for club and national team; and so far this season, this number has increased to 82 minutes per game.
