Barcelona ace Malcom lost for words after making home debut

New Barcelona attacker Malcom says that playing alongside Lionel Messi and scoring for the Catalan club makes him "very happy".

Malcom has said that he 'has no words' to sum up how he feels after scoring for Barcelona on his first home outing for the club.

The £37m summer signing netted Barca's opener in their 3-0 victory over Boca Juniors as they lifted the annual Joan Camper Trophy for a sixth season running.

Malcom beat his man on the edge of the box and fired a low drive under Esteban Andrada in the Boca goal, which Lionel Messi and Rafinha later added to in a one-sided match.

Speaking after the friendly, the 21-year-old admitted that playing alongside Messi made him "very happy".

"I have no words to define it," he told reporters. "Messi is the best in the world and to start a game with him and that he sets you up a goal makes me very happy.

"I'm very happy to be a champion and to see this stadium with so many fans. It's my first game at Camp Nou I have my family in the stands and I scored a goal, it's a dream.

"Although it was a friendly I'm very happy, because it's important to start off scoring. We have great players and I am very happy for how they received me. I hope to score many goals."

Malcom is in contention to start Barcelona's La Liga opener against Alaves on Saturday.
