Abel Ruiz now knows what it is now to play at Camp Nou with the first team. The Barça B striker made his debut in the 2-0 victory against Getafe becoming the seventh player this season from the B squad to appear in Ernesto Valverde's team. The others have been Riqui Puig, Wague, Chumi, Cuenca, Miranda and Collado.

The 19 year old came on for Philippe Coutinho after 68 minutes and played the last 25 minutes of the La Liga encounter.
