The speedy left-back joined Barça from Betis and will know everything about this evening's opponents

Not many people expected that Junior Firpo's new side, FC Barcelona, would welcome his former side, Real Betis, in their home debut for this season's LaLiga. 

The Camp Nou could be the scene of Junior's debut for Barça after spending last week on the bench as Jordi Alba played against Athletic Club.

"Betis are a very dangerous side," is what Junior said to Barça TV. "This year they are a little more direct but they haven't lost the way they keep hold of the ball, something which has become part of their identity. It's a very dangerous team and we need to remember that. If we don't start well, they are going to make it difficult for us."
