Borussia Dortmund striker Paco Alcacer: I HAD to leave Barcelona

Paco Alcacer admits he's enjoying his football at Borussia Dortmund.

The Spanish striker is on a season-long loan at BVB from Barcelona.

Alcacer told RAC1: "All players want to play and that is everyone's goal. Playing and doing well is what gives you happiness and to feel important.

"Being in Barça is one of the best things there is, but you also have to look after yourself and after two years in the team without the opportunities that I wanted, I had to look for something else and I picked the best that I could find.

"I am very happy to have started like this and I am even more happy with how the teammates, the coaching staff and the fans have welcomed me to Dortmund."

Alcacer has scored seven goals for BVB so far this season - or one every 24 minutes.
