Yusuf Demir: It’s an honour to play for Barcelona

Yusuf Demir has been talking about making his debut for Barcelona and said it felt like a dream come true to play for the Catalan giants.

The 18-year-old came on as a substitute for Martin Braithwaite in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Athletic at San Mames and revealed what Ronald Koeman told him before he went on.

“It’s an honour for me to play for this beautiful club. It feels like a kid’s dream come true. I worked really hard to reach this stage and I’m really happy to make my debut,” he said.

“Koeman told me to enjoy it because it’s not every day that you make your debut for this beautiful club and I’m really thankful to him.
