Better late than never.
Barcelona defender Thomas Vermaelen, who is yet to make a single appearance for the club since joining last summer from Arsenal, finally took the pitch for the first time donning the Blaugrana colors Saturday.
The Belgian, 29, was included in Barcelona's starting lineup for the match with Deportivo, which happens to be, incredibly, the club's final league match of the campaign.
