"Happy to score and hopefully the first of many more," he told BT Sport. "When I celebrated, everything came out of me. There was a lot of emotion, mostly relief... When I scored, I thought, 'We could have a chance here'. "It was a great experience over there, (at Barcelona) but I've gotta come to the club I've loved my whole life. And my dad."Following the final whistle, as Thiago Alcantara waited to give him a fist bump and some words of praise, Barry sought out Fabinho and asked if he would swap jerseys. The Brazilian duly obliged and gave up his No.3 for Barry's No.61. [caption id="attachment_222726" align="aligncenter" width="569"]

One of Barry's coaches reminded him that he had just given away his senior debut jersey, something he might want to hang onto. BT cameras showed Barry catching up with Fabinho in the tunnel and asking for his jersey back.
Fabinho took the request in good spirits and Barry had his Villa jersey back. Wearing it when interviewed, the teenager revealed that Fabinho had been extra sound. Asked by Des Kelly if he had almost given away the precious claret jersey, he replied:
"Nearly, but I remembered that it was my debut shirt! Credit to Fabinho, he gave me his shirt too. So I got them both."You have to hand it to Fabinho for tracking back to the 'Home' dressing room and giving the Villa youngster the jersey he so obviously wanted. For Barry, he will dearly hope to get another chance, and more, to share the pitch with such players again. https://twitter.com/btsportfootball/status/1347664111577010177 Good, wholesome content right there.
