FC Barcelona found their way back to a win as they hosted Alaves at the Spotify Camp Nou for their 11th La Liga game of the season. The Blaugranes beat the visitors 6-1 to put their misery from the defeats at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid behind them.
Several forwards impressed in this match, with Raphinha and Lamine Yamal both scoring braces and Fermin Lopez providing two assists and scoring one goal. However, this match will be remembered with the most fondness by another player, the youngster [Brian Farinas, who made his debut with the Barcelona first team in this game](https://barcanewsnetwork.com/fermin-9-5-yamal-9-0-fc-barcelona-6-1-deportivo-alaves-player-ratings/), playing as a makeshift center-back.
After impressing in this debut outing, the youngster took a traditional photoshoot in front of La Masia. After that, he also talked to club media, and as [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20261101/1004245825/farinas-sueno-nino-primera-division-fc-barcelona-club-mi-vida.html) has reported, highlighted how he was grateful for having realized his dream of making his first-team debut:
**“I am very happy and very proud of all the years I have spent working towards this. It is every child’s dream: to play in the top flight with FC Barcelona, the club of my life…”**
After playing as a center-back, the Spaniard expressed his willingness to play anywhere Flick wants him to:
**“I’ll play wherever he puts me.”**
Despite this being his debut, Farinas assured that he felt comfortable playing in this game:
**“After that, you gradually get into the game, and I think I am a player with quite a lot of personality. I felt comfortable, to be honest.”**
The youngster also recognized how his teammates helped him:
**“They helped me a lot. Cubarsí, Rodri, Fermín and Lamine were all there on my side of the pitch. They gave me confidence.”**
Hansi Flick specifically ruled out a transfer for Brian Farinas during the summer as he wanted to have him at his disposal. However, the youngster had been unable to play so far this season. This has now changed after his debut against Alaves, and hopefully, he will continue to get minutes for Barcelona going forward as well.
