He shone with Messi and Guardiola, now he reveals that he dreams of retiring at Barcelona

FC Barcelona has had many great footballers throughout its history. However, the players who are possibly most remembered are those who were in Pep Guardiola's golden era, when the club won the first sextete. Now, many years after that great team, a player who was key in that era and transcended at the time as a talented young man, reveals his desire to retire at Barcelona.

The former Barça player, Pedro Rodríguez, gave an interview to "La Porteria" and made clear his love for the Blaugrana team. «If they tell me and Xavi calls me, before he hangs up and regrets it, I'll come. Barça is my home, that doesn't mean that I don't defend the club where I am now 100%. Barça is my team, it is very difficult for me to return, due to many factors, due to age, but I would love to. "Retiring to Barça would be spectacular, but since I see it as distant and difficult, it is something I am not even considering."

«There are young players with very good potential and talent, such as Lamine Yamal, Gavi, Pedri, Balde and Araujo. "They have to form the backbone of the team in a few years," confessed the former culé footballer who has also had a spell at Chelsea FC, Roma and Lazio in Italy. Now, the player opens the possibility of a last step for the club.

What Pedro says about what was a better time at the club

"In general terms I see it well: the problem is comparing eras. And that is a bit what happens, but in general terms I see them well with top world-class players like Lewandowski, Raphinha. Maybe it is not valued as much from within, but here "At Lazio they ask me about these young players and how they can make a difference at those ages."
