In January 1986, with Terry Venables as a coach, Pedraza made his La Liga debut with the first team, with which he would play a further three years, being mostly used as a backup. In the 1986 European Cup Final he was one of four "Barça" players – the others were José Ramón Alexanko, Pichi Alonso and Marcos – to have their penalty shootout attempts saved by FC Steaua București goalkeeper Helmuth Duckadam, as the Catalans lost the decisive match in Seville (0–0 after 120 minutes).
