Barcelona’s new signing Yerry Mina went barefoot onto the Nou Camp pitch at his unveiling on Saturday.

The centre-back made his first appearance in Barcelona colours since joining the club on Thursday from Brazilian side Palmeiras for £10.5m.

Mina signed a five-and-a-half-year deal at the La Liga leaders with a release clause of £89m in his contract.

He will become the first Colombian to play for Barcelona and his unveiling at the Nou Camp was a memorable one.

After applauding the fans and posing for pictures, the 23-year-old took off his boots and socks before stepping onto the pitch for the first time.
