According to Flick, Pedri is fine:

"Pedri feeling unwell? I'm relieved that nothing serious happened to him. We need Pedri on the pitch, so I asked him if he wanted to come off or keep playing.

It was risky for us to leave him out there for the full 90 minutes... But he told me he was fine, just a muscle strain." Flick stated.

Pedri will undergo further medical examinations, after which it will become clear whether he's fully fit.

Despite a resounding 3-0 victory, Barcelona failed to reach the Copa del Rey final, losing to Atlético on aggregate 3-4.
