Barcelona’s centre-back scenario is far from perfect. With Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen eliminated for the long term and Jules Kounde and Eric Garcia chosen in alternate positions, Hansi Flick is starved of team depth.

The group’s absence of clear backup centre-backs has actually unlocked to the academy where the supervisor has actually chosen Sergi Dominguez.

After playing in all 3 of the group’s video games in the United States, the 19-year-old centre-back made his main launching for the first string previously today versus Real Valladolid.

He began for the last thirty minutes at Montjuic and taped 32 precise touches, one clearance and finished 100% of his long balls tried

Dominguez relives his launching

Speaking to the media after his unique night at Estadi Olimpic de Lluis Companys, the young centre-back exposed how it was constantly an imagine his to represent the first string and how it felt to satisfy his dream.

“Since I arrived at Barça, and even before, I already dreamed of this day. And on Saturday it came true. It’s a pride and I’m very happy.”

“I am very grateful to my family and to all those who have made it possible. I have trained hard,” he included.

Quizzed on whether he thought of making his launching so early on in the season, the La Masia protector exposed that it was not something he anticipated.

“It was a surprise, I didn’t expect to be here from the beginning and train. I’ve earned it and I’m very happy.”

Finally, Dominguez showered appreciation on the group’s brand-new management under Hansi Flick and what the German tactician gave the table.

“He is very close, he and the whole staff. They have been very attentive, asking us, with a smile, how we were. And they are very hardworking.”
