"To be specific, Pedri has approached this landmark at the age of 23 years and 18 days, making him the youngest ever Barcelona player to play in 150 league matches for the club. Pedri overtakes Messi but can the record last? By doing so, Pedri has now overtaken the legendary Lionel Messi, who previously held the record of being the youngest player to achieve the feat. Messi had made his 150th La Liga appearance against Real Zaragoza back in 2010."
"However, his record might not last for too long. While Messi's record lasted 15 years, Pedri's record could be broken in a matter of up to three seasons. That is because of a certain Lamine Yamal. At the age of 18, Yamal has already featured in 123 competitive matches for Barcelona, among which 85 have come in La Liga. Tonight will be his 86th La Liga appearance."
Pedri will make his 150th La Liga appearance for Barcelona at 23 years and 18 days, becoming the youngest player in club history to reach that milestone. The achievement surpasses Lionel Messi, who reached 150 at 23 years and 121 days and finished his Barcelona career with 520 league matches. The starting lineup also features in-form Ferran Torres. Pedri's record may be short-lived because 18-year-old Lamine Yamal has already played 123 competitive matches for Barcelona, including 85 in La Liga; tonight will be his 86th. If Yamal avoids injuries and reaches 100 league appearances this season, consistent appearances in following seasons could topple Pedri's mark by age 20.
