Giovani Dos Santos was delighted to have made a winning start to his official Barcelona career after coming on in the victory over Athletic at the weekend.
The Mexican wonderkid has gained first team experience in pre-season this year and last, but had yet to experience a league for the Blaugrana.
When Dos Santos was told that he was going on in the 64th minute he admits to being stunned at replacing Thierry Henry.
“I couldn’t have hoped for more on my debut," he explained. "I imagined a debut like that.I
"It was strange be come on as substitute for Henry, who has always been one of my heroes."
Barça are expecting great things from Dos Santos, who many see as the long-term successor to Ronaldinho at Camp Nou.
“I am very happy;" the 18-year-old continued. "I couldn’t ask for more. It was my dream come true. I hope to stay here for many more years."
