Memphis Depay was able to listen to his first performance on behalf of FC Barcelona with a goal, courtesy of Antoine Griezmann. The Oranje-International is grateful to his new French colleague for the penalty he was able to take just before time.
Gerard Piqué already took advantage of a penalty in the practice game with Girona and Barcelona was given another penalty in the second half after a foul on Griezmann. He seemed to be the appropriate man to build, but Memphis eventually got the chance. “A really great gesture from him,” says Memphis talking to FC Barcelona TV. “He gave me the ball to take the penalty. He has a great mentality and hes a great player.”
Memphis told afterwards that he had enjoyed his unofficial debut. “It was only my first game, but I am satisfied,” said the attacker, who is looking forward to working with his new team mates. “They have a lot of quality, so I need to find connections right now.”
