"It is a great opportunity for me and another experience in my life. I am happy to be here," said Bony, according to FIFA's official website.

"The Barcelona game will not be easy. Barcelona are in good form now. But we will do our best on the pitch and try to play to our strengths and try our best to win that game.

"We know the game back in Barcelona will not be easy but we are confident we can do something."
