Barcelona's key midfielder Pedri (23) is drawing attention by producing an absurd happening that mistook the bald cameraman's head for a soccer ball during the game.

The Sun reported on the 6th (local time) that "Barcelona star Pedri appeared to mistake the bald cameraman's head for a soccer ball, making fans laugh nonstop."

Barcelona came from behind to win 2-1 in the 30th round of the 2025-2026 La Liga against Atletico Madrid at Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid, Spain, on the 5th.

The ridiculous skit took place in the 24th minute of the second half when the score was 1-1. Pedri urgently looked for the ball to quickly resume the game as it went out of the touchline. Pedri's gaze, which was embarrassed because he couldn't find both the ball and the ball boy, was none other than the shiny cameraman's bald head.

The media said, "As Pedri, who mistook the head for a ball, sprinted up and approached, the surprised cameraman had to quickly point his finger at the real ball on the corner flag side. Realizing his mistake, the Spanish superstar stopped awkwardly with his face red," he explained at the time.

Fans reacted explosively when the ridiculous mistake spread through social media. Fans reacted cheerfully, such as "Pedri mistook a bald man for a ball," "That poor man was so used to this that he pointed to a real ball," and "I almost picked up my head."

Meanwhile, Barcelona was dragged away by Giuliano Simeone's first goal, but Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford equalized. Robert Lewandowski then scored a dramatic winning goal in the 42nd minute of the second half to earn three points.

After the match, Barcelona coach Han Ji-flick praised Rashford, who scored the equalizer. "I'm very happy with Marcus' performance," he said. He proved his ability and scored an important goal."

However, regarding the future of Rashford, a loanee, he said, "I can't say anything. We have to focus on the rest of the game until the end of the season," he said with a cautious attitude.
