Barcelona defender Mika Marmol was handed his first-team debut against Getafe on Sunday, coming on as a late substitute for Alejandro Balde.
The promising 20-year-old was only handed a few minutes at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez and revealed what Xavi told him before he took to the pitch.
“Xavi just told me to go out and enjoy myself and to get the ball,” he said.
“I dedicate this to my parents, my family and most of all my friends who always support me. I will keep this shirt and these shorts forever.”
Marmol also made it clear just what a special moment it was for him to be able to play for the first team for Barcelona in La Liga.
