Emerson's big day has arrived, officially unveiled

Emerson Royal has been formally presented as a new Barcelona player. The defender, who will fight in the 2021-22 season for an important place under Ronald Koeman's orders, starred in the classic institutional act together with the president, Joan Laporta. Both posed with his new jersey, without a number for the moment.

He also allowed his family to come to the stand to appear in the official photograph. The picture was a very nice one with the president and many of the footballer's loved ones. Nobody wanted to miss such a crucial moment in the career of the former Betis player.

Other usual actions such as the handshake with Laporta or the appearance on the pitch dressed in the kit went off without a hitch. He took his first touches of a ball that also bore the colours of the squad and stood in front of the structure announcing his signing so that the photographers could take pictures of him.

His presentation took place on Monday 2nd August and, on the morning of the same day, he took part in his first training session as a Barcelona player. He was alongside Coutinho and Kun Agüero at Barcelona because the rest of the squad was in Germany for some friendlies.
