JAKARTA - Barcelona midfielder Pedri did not cover his disappointment when his team was eliminated from the Champions League on Thursday morning. He considered that the Blaugrana was not ready to compete for the Big Kuping trophy.

Matchday five Group C Champions League 2022/2023 schedules Barca to host Bayern Munich at the Camp Nou Stadium. Before the match, Xavi Hernandez as the coach already knew that his team would not qualify.

This condition made Xavi look unhappy entering the field to fight their rivals at home. As a result, Barca were massacred 0-3 by the Bundesliga giant.

This is the second season the Blaugrana have been eliminated from the Champions League. For Pedri, his team's situation was a failure, because he admitted his team was not ready to compete.

'Barca had to leave the group because we didn't deserve to continue in the Champions League. We are a very young team with a lot of room for improvement, said Pedri, quoted by Football Espana, Thursday.

Pedri said that Barcelona was still lacking in many ways and had to be critical of themselves. Although he admitted that against Munich his team deserved better results.

"We've done great signings, but it's not good enough for us to compete in the Champions League and it's a huge disappointment," added Pedri.

''After seeing what happened today, it looks like we are not ready to compete in the Champions League,'' he said.
