Josep Pedrerol has always shown no problem in putting on the mask and pretending to be a Barça supporter. Everyone knows about his Madridism, but this doesn't cause him any problem when it comes to selling himself to the public. After the resounding victory against Borussia Dortmund (4-0) in the Champions League, the host of El Chiringuito has once again put on his particular show, 'dressing up' as a blaugrana.
Barça, Going for the Treble
At the start of the El Chiringuito program following the Barça-Dortmund match, Josep Pedrerol put on his particular show. He couldn't hide the great Culer game, transformed into a victory that serves to put one foot in the Champions League semifinals. Speaking about the match, the Catalan said: "This Barça believes in the treble. They truly believe it. They play wonderfully, let's enjoy".
Despite his message, it's visible that Pedrerol isn't 'enjoying' much with this Barça. Hansi Flick has completely changed the team's face and has made all of Madridism feel down and out. The host of El Chiringuito enjoyed it more when things were going badly for Barcelona and they 'descended' to the Europa League, where they also couldn't win.
This Barça is offering another image and is the big favorite to win the Champions League, giving a great image match after match. They seem like an unbeatable team, and the truth is they are being so in this 2025, not having lost any match yet. The worst result, so far, is a draw, which allows them to stay alive in the League, Champions, and Cup.
Prudence at Barça
In any case, at Barça they are clear that they won't fall into the trap. A bad match can change everything and send all the work done so far to the trash. There is total calm in the club, which conveys the message of "match by match", as Simeone would say. The treble is possible, but equally possible is ending the season without winning anything.
The situation in the League is good, but there are only 4 points of advantage. The Champions League quarterfinals seem on track, but in theoretical semifinals, they would have to play against Bayern or Inter. And in the Cup, Real Madrid will be thirsty for victory: everything is decided in one match, in which anything will be possible. Barça trusts, but keeps prudence.
