Barcelona have handed their no. 10 shirt to Ansu Fati, following Lionel Messi’s move to Paris Saint-Germain.
The club officially confirmed this on Wednesday.
Barca had considered leaving the number unused for the
2021/2022 season. However, LaLiga rules insist first-team players must wear
numbers 1-25.
Ansu, who only returned to training following a nine-month
injury layoff, had initially been given the No. 17 shirt for the upcoming
campaign.
The forward has previously worn No. 22 and No. 33 since
making his debut for the Catalans in 2019.
Messi wore the No. 10 at Barca since 2008, having previously
worn No. 30 and No. 19.
The Argentina forward inherited the No. 10 shirt from Ronaldinho, with Juan Roman Riquelme and Rivaldo among those to wear it before him.
