Ghanaian defender Hafiz Gariba excelled on his UEFA Youth League debut after starring for Barcelona U19 in their 2-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain.
The lanky centre-back started and played full throttle as Barcelona edged the French outfit playing most of the game with ten men.
The visitors opened the scoring late in the first half through Chtai Telamio and moments later Barcelona were reduced to ten men after Campos was shown a straight red card.
But the Catalans bounced back strongly after the break with Shane Kluivert, son of the club's legend Patrick Kluivert, levelling the scores with an exquisite curler.
Xavi Espart scored the winner later in the match as Barcelona collected all three points at the Estadi Johan Cryuff.
Meanwhile, Gariba was highly rated for his outstanding display, commanding the backline with his majestic performance.
The teen sensation had tongues wagging with many calling for his inclusion to the first team.
