In friendly matches against the "Manchester United" team, newcomer Jordi Alba emphasized the importance of his debut appearance.
The Catalan appeared on the field in the second half and helped his team not to concede a goal in the remaining 25 minutes of the match.
"I am happy with my debut, even though I am not physically ready," said the footballer, who defended Spain in this summer's European Championship and Olympic Games. "It is normal, I still need time. I am confident that by the start of the season, both myself and the whole team will gain the necessary fitness.
For many players, playing at "Barca" is a dream come true. I couldn't wait for the moment when I could step onto the field wearing the "Barca" shirt. What's more, I am a Catalan," Alba said confidently.
