Konrad de la Fuente became the first American to play for FC Barcelona’s senior team in a match, to the delight of US-based publications. The 19-year-old winger has represented the US at youth level and may be in for a call-up for the senior team soon.
He took part in a friendly against Gimnàstic de Tarragona, which Barcelona won 3-1.
The Miami-born player had already trained with the senior team last season after becoming a fixture for the club’s B team, but he had not taken the pitch as part of the senior team until that game.
