Barcelona forward Pedro Rodriguez has admitted that it is tough competing for a place in the club’s starting line-up with Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez.

The Catalans, who already had Messi and Neymar in their ranks, signed Suarez in the summer to further boost their striking department.




As a result, Pedro has found his game time severely reduced at the Camp Nou, especially after Suarez returned to action following his three-month ban ending in October.

However the Spaniard, who has been linked with a move to the Premier League with Arsenal and Liverpool interested, explained he is learning from the trio and that he is keen to grab hold of any opportunities that come his way.
 


"It's tough competing with Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez, but what I'm doing is learning from them, improving every day and helping my team-mates the best I can”, he told Barca TV.
