Paris St Germain (PSG) and Brazilian forward Neymar could not hide his joy when the Ligue 1 side beat Amiens 2-0 on Saturday.
The 25-year-old joined PSG from Barcelona on a five-year contract for 222 million euros ($261.32 million), an amount that doubled the world-record transfer fee.
The Brazilian, who was presented to a delirious crowd at the Parc des Princes ground, told PSG TV: “I’m very happy to be here. Today is magnificent and now I can’t wait to get back on the pitch to be really happy”.
“My presentation for the fans went really well, it was just incredible and this will remain a very special day for me.”
Neymar, however, was prevented from making his debut in the first game of the new season after his registration went through too late.
“It was a good game today, and I know we’ll keep improving day by day to be at our best as soon as possible.”
