Barcelona youngster Brian Farinas has spoken about his "dream" first-team debut after manager Hansi Flick sprang a tactical surprise in the side's thrashing of Deportivo Alaves in LaLiga EA Sports on November 2, 2026.
The match, part of the 2026/27 season, saw Farinas introduced as Flick shuffled his lineup, with the teenager seizing the opportunity to impress at Camp Nou.
Farinas, a product of Barcelona's famed La Masia academy, described the experience as a dream come true and thanked the coaching staff for their trust.
Barcelona's comprehensive victory over Alaves extended their strong start to the campaign, with Flick's rotational policy giving youth players a pathway to the senior squad.
