Barcelona debut is a dream come true, says Monchu

Monchu admitted it was a “dream come true” to make his Barcelona debut on Saturday in the Champions League against Napoli.

The Barcelona B captain came off the bench in the 84th minute to replace Antoine Griezmann at the Camp Nou in the 3-1 last-16 win.

Although it was a surprise substitution by manager Quique Setien, putting Monchu on ahead of Riqui Puig or Ansu Fati, it was a deserved reward for a fine season.

Monchu has taken to Twitter to express his gratitude at being handed his full debut.
