Barcelona cruised to a comfortable 4-1 victory over Celta Vigo on Saturday night at the Camp Nou.

And while Lionel Messi was once again the star of the show, bagging a rather impressive hat-trick in the process, Ernesto Valverde can be happy with some other performances from his squad players as well.

One such ace was Junior Firpo, a newcomer to the team that was finally given a chance in the side.

With that game against Celta Vigo, the young full-back now has a total of just 324 minutes under his belt.

But needless to say, he embraced this opportunity with both hands and fully repaid Valverde's trust.

Many Barcelona fans swarmed Twitter with their messages of support for the young defender and simply showered him with praise.

One fan even compared Firpo to Eric Abidal, a Blaugrana icon from back in the day, and there were even shouts of him starting ahead of Jordi Alba.

You can see some of their replies down in the tweets below.
