Pedri has named the team who he thinks will meet Barcelona in this season's Champions League final.

Barca come up against their former player and manager as they face Luis Enrique's Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals.

Should they see off PSG, they'll await the winner of Atletico Madrid vs. Borussia Dortmund for a spot in the final.

The other half of the draw boasts Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Manchester City and Real Madrid.

Bayern face Arsenal while Man City take on Real.

Pedri is confident his side will reach the Champions League final and even predicted who they will meet at Wembley Stadium on June 1.

He's backed Manchester City to reach the showpiece event in London but likes the idea of clashing with Real.

"What do I think will be the UCL final? Barca-City. Although, Barca-Madrid won’t be bad either," he said.

"We are Barca. It’s very complicated, but of course we can win it. I see the Barcelona youngsters with confidence and a lot of desire in the Champions League."

Man City are the current holders of the Champions League following their sensational campaign last season.

They beat Inter Milan 1-0 to secure their first Champions League triumph.

The Blues, who are arguably in the stronger half of the draw, are among the favourites to go all the way.

As for Barca, they haven't reached the final since the 2014/15 season, where they beat Juventus 3-1 to win their fifth Champions League title.

Pedri, who has played 24 games in all competitions this season, is currently sidelined with a thigh problem but he's hoping to return to action soon.

On his injury timetable, the 21-year-old added: "There’s no specific date for my return, but for now everything is going very well.

"I hope to return very soon. I’m mentally very good, actually. The recovery is going very well and I’m just thinking about coming back and enjoying."
