The youngster replaced Kevin De Bruyne after 82 minutes of our 3-0 win in Marseille on Tuesday evening, just four weeks after making his first-team debut in our EFL Cup win away at Burnley.

“It was a proud moment again for me and my family,” he said. “It’s a dream come true. I want to thank Pep and everyone at the club and dedicate my debut to my friend who passed away the other day.
