Dro Fernandez: PSG’s Iniesta-Like Talent

It’s a fact: the surprise departure of Pedro Fernandez Sarmiento, known as “Dro”, from PSG, completely destabilized the FC Barcelona ecosystem last week. It was even the major subject for several days, the one that all the Catalan supporters commented on in the bars, at the stadium or in the street.

But why was this player, who was struggling to earn his minutes in coach Hansi Flick’s squad, the center of attention? Firstly because he chose PSG, undoubtedly the biggest European “enemy” of Barça fans. But also and above all because Barça had bet on him for the years to come. Seeing him fly away from the Camp Nou is heartbreaking.
