Ronald Koeman speaks on Ilaix Moriba's Barcelona debut against Cornella

The 18-year-old made his maiden senior appearance for the Catalans in Thursday's win at Cornella.

Moriba has shown that he has a future at Camp Nou, according to Koeman.

"The players who made their debuts today have shown that they have a future at the club," Ronald Koeman said after Barcelona's 2-0 win over Cornella in the Spanish Cup on Thursday.

Ilaix Moriba was the only senior debutant in Barca's squad against the Segunda B side. The midfielder started the encounter and had spent 74 minutes on the pitch before being replaced by Sergio Busquets.

The La Masia graduate, who turned 18 on Tuesday, has already thanked Koeman for 'the best birthday present' he could have.
