“The best day of my life”… Alvaro Cortes ecstatic after making his debut with Barcelona first team | OneFootball

FC Barcelona have already mathematically wrapped up the La Liga title, but will now be unable to achieve their objective of reaching 100 league points after having suffered a loss at the hands of Alaves last night.

Hansi Flick made several rotations to his starting lineup for this game, and some youngsters got advantage of this opportunity to gain some game time. The most notable player in this regard was the young defender Alvaro Cortes, who got to make his debut with the first team in this game.

As Mundo Deportivo has reported, the youngster already spoke to the media after the match. The youngster was clear that this was the best day in his life:

“We didn’t get the result. We had the objective of reaching 100 points and we didn’t achieve it, but aside from that, this is the best day of my life. I’ve been dreaming of this since I was a child. I’ve been a Barça fan since I was born, and seeing my family and friends in the stands… I want to thank the coach, the board, and my teammates.”

Cortes also thanked his teammates and the coaching staff for allowing him this opportunity:

Meanwhile, the player was committed to continue working towards further growth:

Undoubtedly, this match would go on to live in the memory of Alvaro Cortes for a long time to come. But with two more matches left till the end of the season, he would already be looking forward to getting some more time on the pitch with the Barcelona first team before the end of the season.
