The Catalan giants broke the news on Wednesday afternoon that Ansu Fati has inherited the No. 10 jersey after Messi's exit. 

The 18-year-old, born in Guinea-Bissau, has enjoyed an incredible rise to stardom since his debut for Barcelona in 2019, though he has missed a lot of football of late due to suffering a long-term injury in November last year. 

Fati has, however, returned to first-team training at the Blaugrana, for whom he has so far made 43 appearances in all competitions and contributed to 18 goals. 

The Spain international joined the Spanish giants in 2012 from Sevilla's youth set-up.
