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."
