After the tough elimination in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain, in Barcelona they want to be protagonists of La Liga until the end. And this Sunday, as visitors to Real Sociedad, one of their players entered the big story. It isn't Lionel Messi, who became the top player with a presence in the club surpassing Xavi, a record that he had equaled last week. The protagonist of the story's Sergiño Dest.

It's that he became the second player born in the United States to score a goal in the first division of Spanish soccer after it was done in the past by Jozy Altidore and Yunus Musah. A week that you will hardly forget is the one Dest is experiencing. In addition to scoring his first goal in Barcelona, he also received the summons to play two friendlies with the United States prior to the definition of the Concacaf Gold Cup.

The North American team will play two friendly matches in preparation for the Concacaf Final Four, which will take place in June, and qualification for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, which will take place from September. Gregg Berhalter's men will face Jamaica in Austria on March 25 and will do the same against Northern Ireland in Belfast on March 28 on a tour of Europe.
