Andrés Cuenca makes his Barça debut
The left footed centre back comes on against Young Boys in the second half of the blaugranes' Champions League game
Tuesday 1 October 2024 will be a day to remember for Andrés Cuenca as he made his official debut for the Barça first team in the blaugranes' 5-0 win over Swiss side Young Boys in the Champions League in the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.
The moment came in the 84th minute of the contest. Wearing the number 39 shirt, Cuenca came on to replace Iñigo Martinez, one of the goalscorers on the night, to take his place alongside Jules Kounde in the centre of defence.
Andrés Cuenca came to Barça from Sevilla in 2019 and is a left footed centre back who can bring the ball out and reads the game well. Although still officially an U19 player, he has made five appearances this season for the Barça Atlètic side, all as a starter. The defender is also a Spain U17 international.
Pau Víctor: debut in the Champions LeagueAnother player who will not forget the win over Young Boys is Pau Víctor. The striker came on for the final 20 minutes of the victory to make his debut in the Champions League, a feat that comes just days after his first official goal for the first team in the game against Osasuna in El Sadar.
