Barcelona defender Sergino Dest is happy to be playing with and against the best players in the world.
"This is the reason [I signed]," Dest told ESPN in an interview. "You want to play every game against the best opponents and see where you're at right now with your development. I think there's enough room for me to improve, but I am on a good [path] and I like these games."
The full-back has played at left back and later at right back, starting in the Clasico ahead of Sergi Roberto.
“It’s an amazing first month for me, my dream came true, I play for Barcelona now. Sometimes when I look at [my teammates] on the pitch I'm like, 'Wow a couple of years ago I watched you guys on TV' and now I play with the best player in the world [Lionel Messi]. That's amazing,” he added.
"[I know] we lost the Clasico, but for me, it's just starting. Hopefully I can reach wonderful things with this beautiful club and develop myself as best as I can."
