"After the game against Real Betis, I stayed for a while at Camp Nou. I could not believe what happened." A few words reflect the dream of Barcelona's new boy, Anso Fati, who last Sunday dreamed of his first appearance for the first team.
Vatti was 16 and 298 days old when he played, becoming the second youngest player to make an official appearance for Barca's first team, just 18 days behind Vicente Martins, who played against Real Madrid in October 1941.
The player from Guinea-Bissau was well received by analysts and followers for his audacity, personal strength and self-confidence, and for a remarkable quarter of an hour in the match, as he was close to scoring a goal for his team.
He not only won the praise of critics, followers and fans, but also received a gift he did not expect, a congratulation from the Argentine star Lionel Messi, and the publication of their image on the accounts of the "Bulga" on the sites of communication.
He joined Lamasia at the age of 10 after a "battle" with rivals Real Madrid to sign.
"We were in Seville and Real offering a better financial contract than Barca, but we chose the latter because the Bluegrana officials came to my house with the contract and explained to me the project that my son would be part of," said Anso's father, Puri Fati.
Since arriving in Barcelona nearly seven years ago, my death has grown brilliant every year, becoming one of the most promising talents in Europe and a key player in all age groups at the Lamasia Academy.
In the UEFA Champions League, Vati scored four goals and contributed three more to nine games.
"I asked to see Fati's shoes. It was a disaster by all standards and it caused him pain," said Victor Valdez, the former Catalan coach and former goalkeeper. "Nobody thought his aches were because of the shoes. We went and bought new shoes.
It is noteworthy that Vatti, who increased the number of followers after his first participation with Barca from 64 thousand to more than 467 thousand - renewed his contract earlier this year and included a clause (condition) penalties of 100 million euros.
