Aleix Garrido thrilled with winning Barcelona debut

Aleix Garrido made his debut for Barcelona in their 4-0 win against Elche.

Garrido was a second-half substitute for Ansu Fati on the day.

The 19 year-old later said: "A lot of emotions, it's the best day of my life. It's eleven years at this club. It's an incredible feeling, I'll never forget this day. I'm very happy for the minutes and I hope to play more.

"Xavi told me not to lose the ball, it added a bit of pressure," joked Garrido.

Barca coach Xavi also said: "He's got a Barça profile, for sure. He has a great last pass and is a very technically superior player. He has time, but I love him."
