Memphis Depay says it ‘feels amazing’ to wear Barcelona shirt

Memphis Depay admitted he loved wearing the Barcelona shirt for the first time after making a goalscoring debut for the Catalan giants on Saturday.

The Dutchman came on late in the first half after Rey Manaj picked up a knock and struck a fine penalty late on in a 3-1 victory for the hosts.

Memphis was happy to speak to reporters after the match and was clearly thrilled to be in the Barcelona team after his move on a free transfer.

“It feels amazing to play in this shirt. It was tough, the first minutes in the match, but I really enjoyed it,” he said.
