Pedri had nothing but praise for Unai Simón after his heroics in the penalty shootout that sent Spain to the Final Four of the Nations League. The midfielder highlighted the goalkeeper’s crucial role before stepping up to score the decisive penalty.

"It’s an honor to wear this jersey and play for the national team. Scoring a goal that makes the fans happy is even more special. None of this would have been possible without Unai, who always saves one or two penalties. We’re really happy to qualify," he told Teledeporte.

A Tough Battle Against the Netherlands

The Barcelona star admitted it was a challenging match against the Netherlands, acknowledging the quality of the Dutch squad. "It was a tough game. The Netherlands is a great team, they play good football and always try to dominate possession. We started well, but every time we took the lead, they managed to equalize. In the end, penalties decided it all, and luckily, we have Unai in goal."

Finally, Pedri thanked the fans at Mestalla and emphasized their connection with the team: "The fans are really excited about us. The Euro brought a lot of emotion, and we play a style of football that they love."
