It was a goal that established Pedro as a tireless striker. The Barcelona winger scored in August 2009 the most important goal within his trajectory thus far. It was worthy a European Super Cup against Shaktar Donetsk, the rival that separates his team of the Champions League semi finals.
Pedro is, one and a half year after, one of the best players of the Spanish League, an undisputed permanent at the best Barça of the history. This season he has scored 13 goals, which places him at the sixth place between the best goal scorers of the championship despite he doesn’t play three weeks ago because of a sports hernia.
“We still remember how difficult it was to defeat them in the Super Cup. They’ve only lost against Arsenal in Europe this season”, reminds Pep Guardiola of the tough clash against the Ukrainian. Pedro’s goal in that match arrived with suspense, at the 114th minute, after a continuous trying. He was in the bench the entire match, and jumped onto the pitch in the extra time to close the match together with Messi. Next Wednesday he will face Pyatov again, the goalkeeper of Shacktar in that date.
The player from the Canary Islands will be discharged one day before the match and all seems like he will be starting in Barcelona’s most lethal trio, which is completed with Messi and Villa. His Champions season gives a good result. In seven matches he has scored three goals and given two passes. Guardiola is not confident. Pedro doesn’t hide normally.
