Samper’s Barca debut ‘unforgettable’

Sergi Samper described his Barcelona debut in the 1-0 Champions League victory over APOEL on Wednesday

as ‘unforgettable’.

“I’m very happy. Today is an unforgettable day and I felt good,” he told Canal Plus immediately after the game.

“An hour before the start I heard that I would be in the starting line-up, but I hadn’t thought about it until early morning.

“[Boss] Luis Enrique told me to do what I normally do and I operated in the right position to do that, although it is very comfortable to play with these kind of players and I felt okay.

“Xavi [Hernandez] gave me advice on the game and where to go but it was a very difficult match. They were tight at the back and it took a lot out of us, but we’ll watch it again to see what errors we made.

“It’s an incredible motivation to make your debut in the Champions League and you can’t put a price on playing in the Barcelona first team.

“Luis Enrique congratulated me afterwards,” revealed Samper.
