FC Barcelona clinched the La Liga title after a historic Clásico victory over Real Madrid, and one of the standout performers was Pedri, who was named MVP of the match. Following the game, a deeply personal tradition unfolded at the Spotify Camp Nou: the symbolic penalty shootout with his father, a ritual that has become a family staple after every trophy.
Pedri’s family has always been deeply rooted in Barcelona’s culture, even before he joined the club. “When I was born, they put a Barça shirt on me. My grandfather and father were die-hard culers, and that’s been passed down to me,” he once said in a club interview. This passion runs deep, as his grandfather founded the Peña Barcelonista de Tegueste, making Barcelona fandom a daily part of life and a generational legacy. “The whole family became Barça supporters because of that. I would pay money for my father to have seen all of this,” Fernando, Pedri’s father, recalled when reflecting on his son’s rise to football’s elite.
After securing the title, Pedri upheld the family tradition of the penalty kick with his father, a former regional-level goalkeeper. González took his place in goal at Camp Nou while his son stepped up to shoot—a scene they replay every time the player lifts a trophy. This simple but meaningful gesture has become an intimate ritual in the footballer’s celebrations, a way to honor the family bond and remember his father’s sacrifice.
Fernando had always dreamed of becoming a professional goalkeeper and was close to debuting in the Third Division, but the death of Pedri’s grandfather forced him to take over the family business and put his football ambitions aside. 
Among the standout comments on the post: “Imagine being the father of the most talented midfielder in the world over the last 10 years, and he plays for the team whose grandfather founded a peña in the Canary Islands… that’s everything.”
