Dani Olmo expressed his excitement after scoring his inaugural goal for Barcelona, describing it as “just the beginning” following his debut for the club. Barcelona secured a 2-1 comeback victory against Rayo Vallecano at Vallecas on Tuesday night. Olmo, who had joined the club on August 9, made his debut after the club was able to register him with La Liga this week due to financial regulation issues. Olmo came off the bench to net the decisive goal late in the match.
The versatile player, who had been eagerly anticipating his first appearance, shared his enthusiasm about the game and his special moment. He emphasized that the goal was particularly significant given that Barcelona had not won at Vallecas for several years. Olmo also highlighted the support he received from his teammates, notably Lamine Yamal, and his familiarity with Rayo Vallecano’s goalkeeper Dani Cardenas, a friend from his hometown.
Under the leadership of new head coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona has begun the 2024/25 La Liga season with three consecutive 2-1 victories. Following their latest win, Barcelona will face Real Valladolid at home on Saturday, after Valladolid suffered a 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid over the weekend.
Olmo’s goal against Rayo Vallecano was a result of his strategic positioning and precise finishing. He praised the team’s performance and their ability to control the match in the later stages, ultimately deserving the victory. With the season progressing positively, Barcelona looks to maintain their winning momentum as they prepare for their upcoming fixture.
