"I'm very happy and proud. So many things went through my head. I'm living a spectacular dream, and even more so to be able to make my debut at Camp Nou and for the club of my life. It's the dream of a kid who started playing here, enjoying himself, having fun and learning... I've been at the club for 11 years. It's a goal for everyone and it's spectacular. I'm happy and proud."
"I still can't believe it, it's hard to wrap my head around. We had an impromptu dinner with the family, and I tried to rest, but I couldn't really get much rest, to be honest, because I had a match with my team the next day. Now I have to stay grounded, but be ambitious and keep working so that more days like this come."
Tommy Marques made his Barcelona first-team debut as a late substitute for fellow La Masia graduate Fermin Lopez in the match against Mallorca. Marques described the debut at Camp Nou as a spectacular dream and said he feels proud after 11 years at the club. The defensive midfielder celebrated modestly with family, acknowledged limited rest after the night, and emphasized staying grounded while remaining ambitious and hardworking. Marques cites Sergio Busquets and Frenkie de Jong as role models. Barcelona rate him highly and coach Hansi Flick is expected to keep him involved and monitor his progress closely.
