Alexis Sanchez: 'No Pedro rivalry'

Barcelona attacker Alexis Sanchez plays down suggestions of a rivalry with his teammate Pedro.

Alexis Sanchez has insisted that there is no rivalry between himself and Pedro at Barcelona.

With Neymar and Lionel Messi - when both fully fit - almost assured of a starting spot in the front three for the Catalan outfit, the final attacking spot is taken by either Sanchez or Pedro.

However, the Chilean, who is Barcelona's top scorer in La Liga this season with 15 goals, has played down suggestions of unhealthy competition.

"We try to improve with every game, there's no competition between me and him. We try to add to the team, because at the end of the day, if we win the championship, we'll all be champions," Sanchez told the club's official website.

"If he scores or I score, it's for the team, it's not about competition. But we do want to make the eleven and do as good a job as possible."

Pedro has netted 17 times in all competitions this season.
