A surprising set-piece goal for Barcelona
Pellegrino, who had a spell at Barcelona on loan back in the late-90s, said he was surprised that Barcelona didn’t create more chances: “We expected them to create more danger from open play but in the end the goal came from a set piece, which is something we need to address.”
“I hope the team continues to grow, this will stand us in good stead,” he added.
