Ansu Fati: Barcelona's 16-year-old debutant's journey from rolled up socks and rejecting Real Madrid


The teenager became the second youngest player to represent the Spanish champions in La Liga, against Real Betis, and is destined for the very top

At the age of 16 years, 11 months and five days, Ansu Fati strode out onto the turf at Camp Nou on Sunday to make his Barcelona debut.

Only one player – Vicenc Martinez Alama, in 1941 – has pulled on the famous Blaugrana shirt at a younger age in a Liga match. A star, many in Catalunya believe, is about to be born.

Seen by many as the most talented player currently within Barca's famed La Masia academy, Fati has been earmarked for success from an early age.
