Ilaix Moriba: I will take first Barça goal to my grave with me!
The midfielder scored the second goal in Saturday's win against Osasuna
Ilaix Moriba will never forget the game against Osasuna. The young midfielder scored his first Barcelona goal with a genuine golazo.
"I still don't believe it," he said. "Leo's passed me the ball and I don't know how I cut back and then, luckily, I shoot with the left and goal.
"I will never forget it. I will take it to my grave with me. I want to dedicate the goal to my dad, to my mum... and to all my family."
"I always dream of scoring, I started playing football because I like scoring goals. If not I would have been a goalkeeper."
Ilaix has been working with Ronald Koeman's first team for a while and said "there's competitiveness in training, it doesn't matter if we're young or not. We have to learn from the older players and they help us a lot."
On what Messi has said to him during the match, he explained: "He said to get forward and to look for goal and that's what I did."
Ilaix's first goal for the club came at the same ground as Ansu Fati's: "Ansu is like my brother, we've spent many years together. I love him a lot, he's family for me. I'm delighted to have scored my first goal in the same goal as him."
