Last night at the Camp Nou, the 17-year-old striker showed all his talent in the first 45 minutes. "These are 17 or 18 year old kids, they have a lot of merit for what they do. Ilias and Abde both had a good game," said Xavi, happy and proud to have played these two young Moroccans in his debut.

Ilias Akhomach made his debut in the FC Barcelona B team a little over twelve months ago. Today, he finds himself in the big leagues, playing as a right winger at the Camp Nou.
