Barcelona midfielder Pedri on wonder goal: A dummy, a fake... that's all I remember

Barcelona midfielder Pedri was delighted after their Europa League win at Galatasaray.

Pedri struck in the 2-1 triumph as Barca reach the quarterfinals.

He later said, "We didn't expect to only draw 0-0 at the Camp Nou so we knew that coming here, with that result, would be complicated. But I've never played in a stadium which puts you under such pressure!

"I thought about shooting but then I dummied, then faked another shot until I saw a space to shoot into. That's all I remember.

"I'm lucky in that on the pitch I don't have to think too much, things just come to me."
