Barcelona starlet Toni Fernández has cemented his place in the club’s history books following a landmark appearance at senior level.
The young attacker was handed his first-team debut during Barcelona’s emphatic 4-0 victory over Barbastro in the Copa del Rey Round of 32.
The match saw goals from Eric García, a Robert Lewandowski brace, and Pablo Torre as the Blaugrana cruised to a comfortable win.
However, the night’s most notable moment came ten minutes from time when Hansi Flick introduced Toni Fernández from the bench. In doing so, the 16-year-old became the second-youngest player ever to debut for Barcelona’s senior side, following in the footsteps of Lamine Yamal, who remains the youngest.
Fernández’s debut is a testament to Barcelona’s ongoing commitment to nurturing young talent, with the club’s famed La Masia academy continuing to produce exceptional players ready to make an impact at the highest level.
As Barcelona fans celebrated another comprehensive win, the emergence of Fernández offered a glimpse of the club’s bright future, adding yet another chapter to the storied history of the Catalan giants.
