Farinas expressed his happiness at making his debut and winning with Barcelona, thanked those who had supported him, and said he would keep working to earn more opportunities. His teammate Lamine Yamal congratulated him, saying he had deserved the chance.
Coach Hansi Flick praised Farinas’s performance, saying he deserved the minutes and describing him as focused and professional, with good performances in training. The source noted that Barcelona could again be without their injured defenders in next week’s matches against Aston Villa and Atletico, which could give Farinas the chance to play additional minutes.
