'This is the best day of my life': Aleix Garrido on making his Barca debut

"This is the best day of my life. I will never forget making my debut here. I am very happy with the minutes I got and I hope to have more," Aleix Garrido said after the game against Elche.

"I've spent all my life at this club, I got emotional. I will always remember this day, I am thankful to everyone who's supported me and to the coach.

"I was injured for four months. Everything happened too quickly. On Monday, I got a call and was told that I'd join the first team. Seeing my name in the matchday squad was almost impossible to believe."

Garrido made his professional debut on Sunday aged 19 having joined Barcelona's academy when he was only 7 years old. Xavi values Aleix's profile, highlighting his technical abilities and final pass.
