Under the guidance of Hansi Flick, Barcelona has not only seen on-field success but also progress in player fitness, epitomized by midfielder Pedri.

Pedri revealed that he and the club discovered the 'right formula' for his physical preparation that minimizes injuries. A key element is his regular strength training at the gym, which enhanced his power and durability.

Additionally, Pedri adopted intermittent fasting on the advice of teammate Ferran Torres, which has improved his overall well-being and consistency.

These adjustments have led to a significant drop in injuries for Pedri, making him one of the most utilized players in the squad. This stability is an asset for the coaching staff’s tactical plans and squad reliability.

Pedri’s transformation underscores the importance of modern fitness regimens and dietary changes in prolonging young players’ careers and strengthening Barcelona’s competitive edge.
