"Xavi asked Lamine Yamal and me to play it safe, to have personality," Fermin Lopez told the media after the game at Mallorca.
"I am happy to have scored my first goal with this shirt, with the club that I dreamed of as a child, but it is the least important thing.
"We are hurt by the result, but we are going to correct the mistakes now for Sevilla.
"I try to do what the coach asks of me and help the team as much as possible. I am very grateful to Xavi for the trust and the opportunities.
"It is difficult to imagine a year ago that I would be where I am. It was a year of learning and it has helped me fulfill my dream. Now the goal I set for myself is to continue helping the team."
Fermin came off the bench to score the equalizer for Barca in the 75th minute in a game where Barca had shot themselves in the foot with schoolboy errors.
Fermin is another La Masia graduate who looks like he has a bright future ahead of him.
