Calvet, Messi, Bojan and Ansu Fati are the only players to do it before him

Pedri has started writing his history at Barcelona. Despite his age, just 17, he is becoming key for coach Ronald Koeman.

Against Betis last weekend he scored in Barcelona's 5-2 win, meaning he became the fifth youngest scorer in the club's history in La Liga.

He already did it in the Champions League, scoring at 17 years and 330 days, putting him behind only Ansu Fati and Bojan.

His league goal meant he is behind only Calvet (1940), Leo Messi (2005), Bojan Krkic (2007) and Ansu Fati (2019). These are names that Barcelona fans know well. 

1. Ansu Fati (16 years and 304 days)

1. Ansu Fati (16 years and 304 days)The Barcelona cantera player, out for four months after a knee operation, netted last season against Osasuna (31 August, 2019).

Ernesto Valverde's side were losing 1-0 at El Sadar but he threw on Ansu and he headed home the equaliser. Only two other players in Spanish football history have scored younger - Olinga and Muniain.

2. Bojan Krkic (17 years and 53 days)

2. Bojan Krkic (17 years and 53 days)The forward netted in a defeat by Villarreal in 07-08. He beat Messi's then record and is still in second place. Now he plays for Montreal Impact in the MLS.

3. Leo Messi (17 years and 331 days)

3. Leo Messi (17 years and 331 days)This year it's been 15 since he scored his first goal for Barca. May 1, 2005, and Camp Nou will never forget. The first of 447 in 489 league games.

Barcelona welcomed Albacete in week 34 of the 2004/05 season, and at 1-0 up Frank Rijkaard bought on Messi for Samuel Eto'o. He scored a magical chip, set up expertly by Ronaldinho.
