Pedri Becomes Youngest Player to Reach 200 Barcelona Starts
Spain midfielder Pedri etched his name into Barcelona history during Saturday’s 2-1 win over Osasuna. At 23 years and 159 days, he broke Lionel Messi’s decade-old record of 200 starts, previously set at 23 years and 227 days. Since debuting as a 17-year-old in 2020/21, Pedri has become the team’s midfield fulcrum. His vision and passing have been key to Barça’s two league titles and their push for a third this season. Even as Pedri celebrates this milestone, young La Masia graduates Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsí loom behind him. Both are regular starters now and could challenge this record soon.
