Ilaix Moriba left with mixed feelings after Barcelona debut

Ilaix Moriba was left with mixed feelings after making his La Liga debut for Barcelona against Alaves on Saturday.

The 18-year-old was a surprise name on the teamsheet as Ronald Koeman rotated his squad ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

The midfielder started the game well and grabbed a great assist when he calmly teed up Francisco Trincao for the opening goal.

However, a poor error in the second half saw Luis Rioja pull one back, and left Moriba struggling to forget the mistake after the full-time whistle.

“I’m always thinking about the last thing and I have that mistake in my head,” he said.
