Sergiño Dest was over the moon after his first goal in the service of FC Barcelona. The right back, who came over from Ajax last summer, opened the score in the Champions League match against Dynamo Kiev on Tuesday (0-4).

“I was ordered to attack a lot and look for the enemy goal. This is an important win for us. The team played very well and I think we did a great job.”
“We are now in a good starting position in the Champions League”, Dest referred to the ticket obtained for the eighth finals of the European ball of millions. Although the group stage has already been decided and FC Barcelona can save the necessary players for the competition, Dest does not want to let go of the reins. “I also want to win the remaining two group matches.”
