The Barça midfielder was sensational in the win over Athletic Club on Sunday

Pedri Gonzalez put on an exhibition against Athletic Club. He was spectacular, but his comments after the game were very measured.

The Barcelona midfielder produced some amazing moments, such as a back-heeled nutmeg that brought Camp Nou to its feet.

"I was screwed if I lost the ball, but it came off," he told Movistar after the game.

Barça have now scored four goals in each of their last three games as the improvement continues under Xavi Hernandez.

"We're working well," Pedri added. "The coach has given us a lot of advice, especially the young players, and we're seeing that with the results."

The Barça midfielder feels that now "we are looking for the right option and we have a lot of firepower in attack. The club has done well with the signings."

Despite the praise, Pedri remains prudent and doesn't consider himself exceptional: "There's a lot of talent in football. I have to work much more to be anyone in the football world."
