Ghanaian midfielder Abdul Aziz Issah made a memorable debut for Barcelona B on Wednesday, stepping onto the pitch in the 74th minute to replace Noah Darvich in a closely contested 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad B.
Issah’s appearance marked a significant milestone for the 18-year-old, who is currently on loan from Ghana Premier League side Dreams FC.
Despite coming on in the final stages, Issah showcased his skill and composure, quickly finding his rhythm among his new teammates at the Estadi Johan Cruyff. His introduction into the game was met with excitement from Barcelona fans eager to see the Ghanaian talent in action, especially after his debut was delayed by work permit issues. Following several weeks of preparation and adjustment to his new surroundings in Spain, Issah has finally had his chance to make an impression on the European stage.
Reflecting on his debut, Issah expressed gratitude and determination, stating, “Happy to make my debut for this great club – first of many onto the next.” His words reflect his commitment to seizing future opportunities with Barcelona B as he aims to cement his role in the team.
The young Ghanaian’s debut came alongside that of fellow countryman David Oduro, another promising player making his first appearance for Barcelona B on the same night. The simultaneous debuts of Issah and Oduro have sparked excitement in Ghana and among fans of Barcelona B, who are hopeful that these young talents will become regular contributors.
Issah’s performance has fueled speculation about his potential role in Barcelona B’s next game, a home fixture against Lugo.
