  • El Cortador..Griezmann ends with Neymar

The duel against Betis was full of ephemeris. Antoine Griezmann finally scored his first goal at Camp Nou and was decisive to start the comeback with the second, Gerard Piqué celebrated his 500th match as Barca and the last great pearl of the quarry, Ansu Fati , had his first minutes with the Barcelona's first team. And that has not yet played a single official minute with B. Nor Leo Messi , the great Barca star, became so early

The Guinea-Bissau striker is the second youngest debutante in the history of the Barcelona club . He arrived at La Masia, where he continues to live, with 10 years, with his brother Braima , both from the Sierra Sur football school in Seville. When he stepped on the grass of the Camp Nou, he had 16 years and 298 days. Only Vicenç Martínez , who premiered with the first team with 16 years and 280 days in the 1941-42 season against Real Madrid, surpasses him early. Ansu Fati jumped to the pitch with the result on track, but gave him time to leave some flash of his quality. Ten relatives accompanied him from the stands. The serious injury, tibia and fibula, which suffered in 2015 is already forgotten. It renewed last month until 2022 and its clause is crack: 100 million euros .

The advice of Víctor Valdés

«Enjoy the little Camp Nou, which, surely, if you make your debut, will take you on a flywheel», was the message transmitted by the youth coach A Barça, former goalkeeper Víctor Valdés , hours before its premiere. «I had an offer from Real Madrid, with much more money, but Albert Puig , from Barça, came and told me 'we are going to take care of Ansu, we have a project for him'. And look how we are today, ”confessed his father, Bori Fati , in Rac1 .

"I couldn't even imagine how a kid was going to be with these soccer beasts, training with Messi, with Piqué ... 'Dad, I'm not going anywhere, you can bring the offer you want,' he told me. If he is happy here, I am too, ”he added. «It has qualities. It is true that he is very young, but we have seen things that, in these situations, can help us. He has self-confidence, is fast and faces well. So, you don't look at age, ”Valverde settled.
