Abde was one of the novelties in the first call of Xavi Hernandez as coach of the FC Barcelona. The Moroccan winger started the match from the bench, but entered after the break for the rookie Ilias and he was the best Barça player in the second half.

The ex of Hercules led head to Pedrosa. He dared to overflow every time he had the ball at his feet and was about to score after getting into the blue and white area, but the ball went over the goal of Diego Lopez. With the same demand that was used in attack, he also did it in defense, something that caused him to end up seeing a yellow.

His performance also earned him accolades from Xavi: “He has done an extraordinary second half, he has self-confidence and this point of unconsciousness that makes him attack the side in every action. He makes you a bicycle …”, said the Barça coach.
