Karim Adeyemi was a very happy man after scoring his first goal for Barcelona in Sunday’s 5-2 pre-season friendly win over FC Basel.
The summer signing opening the scoring for Hansi Flick’s side in their penultimate friendly before the start of the new season with a fine finish from inside the penalty area.
Adeyemi spoke to the media afterwards and admitted that he was loving life at Barcelona but acknowledged he’s still getting used to the demands of playing for the Catalan giants.
“I feel great, I think it was a good game, we’re still adapting, I love being here and I already want more. It’s a dream come true, I’m enjoying every day and I’m learning a lot from the team and trying to be better every day, it’s incredible to be in a city like this and at such a big club,” he told reporters.
“This is the biggest club in the world and every day I push myself to the limit, I try to learn and give my best on the field and I think it’s more difficult than I expected.
“Of course we are prepared, we have very good players, everyone can see it, everyone can play, and everyone is ready. On Wednesday we will play a good match, and the next one we will play even better.”
Adeyemi should feature in midweek in the Joan Gamper Trophy game and will then hope to make his La Liga debut for Barcelona on Sunday against Elche.
