Barcelona’s Pedro ‘full of joy’ after his side overcame Real Madrid to reach Champions League final

Barcelona secured yet another Champions League final berth after a 1-1 draw in Camp Nou in the second leg of the semifinal was enough to ensure it overcame its old adversary Real Madrid 3-1 on aggregate.

Talking to the press after the game Pedro said: “I’m full of joy. It’s always tough to reach a Champions League final, and to have a match against a great team like Real Madrid has made things very difficult.

“They have great players, a superb team, and we are very pleased with the end result because it was very difficult”.

Pedro, who scored Barcelona’s only goal on the night thanks to great work by Andres Iniesta, continued: “I felt a great sense of joy when I scored. Andres Iniesta gave me a great pass, but in this game everyone gave a great level of input.

“Hopefully we can win the final at Wembley, but we know it will be difficult because Manchester United have a great team.”

Barcelona will face either Manchester United or Schalke in the final of the Champions League on Saturday, May 28.
