After the departure of Lionel Messi from FC Barcelona , a large vacancy was left within the club. The Argentine’s number was adrift in search of a new footballer who wishes to inherit that historical number. Sergio “Kun” Agüero was one of the candidates, but the former Manchester City did not want to assume such responsibility . Finally, a young star of the Catalan team will be the privileged one to wear that prestigious number: Ansu Fati .
The young Spanish promise will use this number on her back. In addition to Agüero, players like P Hilippe Coutinho and Frenkie de Jong also emerged as the top contenders to fill that gap. But finally it was the club itself who ended up announcing that Ansu Fati would stay with this new number.

The forward of 18 years of age is in the last moments of its recovery. The skilled attacker suffered a serious injury to the medial meniscus of his left knee. This problem caused him to go under the knife up to three times, in addition to missing most of the competitions and away from the courts for more than ten months.
However, the Catalan team hopes that their jewel will return with the same sparkles of quality that he showed during his first participations in FC Barcelona. Ansu fati has played 43 matches in which he has managed to score 13 goals and distributed 5 assists. Without a doubt, a performance that moved the fans of the Catalans and the Spanish team.
