Nolito had an excellent performance in Celta Vigo's 1-0 win at Barcelona.

Nolito setup Joaquin Larrivey's second half goal with a backheel assist. Nolito also had a brilliant roulette to free himself of two Barcelona players.

"Nolito is good enough to play in any team, including Barcelona," said Celta Vigo manager Eduardo Berizzo.

Nolito was on Barcelona's B team earlier in his career before going to Benfica. Luis Enrique signed Nolito in the summer of 2013 for Celta Vigo after managing him previously with the Barcelona B side.
