The club has finally decided which players will take over the iconic number
Getty Lionel Messi’s Barcelona shirt Barcelona has confirmed that Ansu Fati is the club’s new No.10 and will take over the iconic number following captain Lionel Messi’s shock departure from the Camp Nou. The No.10 has not been seen since Messi left for Paris Saint-Germain with players seemingly unwilling to cope with the challenge and the pressure of taking on the famous shirt. However, it now has a new owner in the shape of the club’s brightest attacking hope. Our new number ????

Fati is still on the comeback trail after knee surgery and his return date has not been confirmed. The teenager has not played since November 2020 but it had been hoped he will return in September. Coach Ronald Koeman has insisted he will not rush the youngster back despite the fact he’s returned to training. “Don’t get carried away with these images of him training. He’s still a long way away from competing at the top level,” he told reporters.
