Pedri sits at the older table. This Saturday against Celta Vigo, the 22-year-old midfielder played his 161st match with Barça in all competitions. By reaching this figure, he equals the number of matches played at this age in the Blaugrana jersey of… Lionel Messi. For the moment, only Bojan Krkic is doing better with 163 games, but he should soon be dethroned by the Spanish midfielder.

In this list, Perdi is also placed above several big names like: matches with the Catalan club, at just 17 years old. But while waiting for the Lamine Yamal rocket, the Canary Islands should therefore overtake La Pulga against Brest this Tuesday, reaching the mark of 162 matches.
