The life of a child prodigy cannot be easy. No one teaches them to move from indifference to stardom. To admire to be admired. And childhood, where there is no fear, suddenly ends. No credit titles because the movie must continue. Because the bulbs will no longer lose sight of you. Because we will all love to explain how he ended his becoming as a suffering protagonist of a Dickens tale to make his ground as given to cannibalism like football. Ansu Fati is only 16 years old. His gaze, the same one that searches again and again for his family's seats at the Camp Nou, betrays his own astonishment. The boy starred in front of the bereaved Valencia one of those exhibitions that move the soul. He scored a goal and offered another to De Jong in his first seven minutes as a starter. He drew hats and collapsed defenses as if he did everything with 'plastidecor'. A star was born. Now it will be his turn to learn what it means. [Narration and statistics: 5-2]

In football there is time for everything, without knowing very well to what such irruptions, changes and storms respond. It will be because, as in life, emotions end up taking everything ahead. Valverde has gone from being the antichrist of La Masia and the poetic game to repeat again and again with Carles Pérez, to align Ansu Fati as a starter, and to mix up in a center of the field to Busquets with De Jong and Arthur. While Rakitic accumulates moths on the bench. Seeing is believing. Luis Suarez waited from the start to take a goal in his first intervention after replacing Ansu Fati, and another to end the night. A good essay now that travels again in Europe. Where the Uruguayan is disturbed.

The plan, in any case, seemed ready to end the emotional stability of the Valencia players, condemned from beginning to end to run behind the ball. There was nothing more to attend to Parejo's screams to make sure the torture.

Marcelino García Toral, the guardian angel of the captain, was the most proud man in the world four months ago because he had just won the Cup against Barcelona. This week he was fired because the great gerifalte of Valencia, Peter Lim, could not stand any happiness other than his own. «If you are part of a group, nobody tells you that they will kill you. There are no fights or insults. The killers arrive with a smile, ”Scorsese wrote in One of ours. Barça suddenly found that the new foreman on the rival bench was going to be an old son of Cruyff, Albert Celades, a bisoño coach in First. It could not end well.

The scenario, infernal for Valencia, had the scent of paradise for Ansu Fati. Dawn brought with it the determined advance of De Jong - excellent match of his. The Dutchman, in an action in which anyone had opted for the recoil, raised his head and focused on the heart of the area. Griezmann dragged as many as he could and Ansu Fati, who had already left the left bank, burst the ball.

The fans still twisted in their seats when they saw Ansu Fati return to the load. Garay, war veteran, saw the boy approach. The central did not know whether to look at the feet or the ball. When what you really should have done is to look at the child's gaze. Determined and full of enthusiasm. Ansu Fati corrupted Garay's hip and, instead of getting carried away by the impetus, he censored his shot and I wait for De Jong to take the best position to catch the goal.

It had only been seven minutes, but Valencia of Celades understood that it was over. As much as Gameiro, enabled by Rodrigo and after the proper correction of the VAR, adjusted a difference that would already grow without remedy in the resumption. Piqué, who took advantage of a Cillessen error after the shot of a troubled Griezmann, reinforced a victory that colored Suarez with the swing. Maxi Gomez closed the night.

The absence of Messi forces Barcelona to explore new emotions. And few sports like football to offer them.
