Under Spanish law, underage boys cannot play football after 9 p.m. Due to this rule, football clubs will not allow players under the age of 18 to play in night matches unless their families consent. But if the boy makes his debut at a world-famous football club like Barcelona, can no other parent give permission? Ansumani Fatir's parents did not disagree. Fatir's father not only allowed the young boy to play, but also to fulfill his long cherished dream. On August 25, 2019, Usman Dembele and Luis Suarez were on the field due to injuries. The then coach Ernesto Valvarde put Fati in the squad to make up for their lack. Although he did not have a chance on the field for the first XI Fati came on as a substitute for Carles Perez in the 7th minute of the match against Real Betis. He is wearing his number 31 jersey. He made history by playing La Liga at the youngest age as a Bar্সa player. He was 18 years and 298 days old that day. The same Barারa set the record for the youngest goal in a jersey. He then set the record for the youngest goal in the Champions League and for the Spanish national team.
The insanity surrounding Ansu Fati today, the story behind the wonder today is not at all pleasant. He and his family have struggled to come this far. Leaving one's homeland. Fatima was born on October 31, 2002 in Bissau, the capital of the West African country of Guinea-Bissau. She is the second of her parents' five children. Today's wonder boy grew up in a family without father Bori Fati and mother Lourdes Fati. The civil war in Guinea-Bissau began four years before Fatir was born. And a year after his birth, the country's politics became turbulent due to the military coup. The coup caused Guinea-Bissau's economy to collapse and there was a severe shortage across the country. Fati's parents were worried about their children's future. In the end, his father left the family alone and moved to Portugal. His goal was to make a good position for himself first and then bring the family. Fati's father Bori Fati himself was a footballer. So he wanted to build his own football career in Portugal. But he failed there. While Bori was in Portugal, rumors were circulating that migrants were being offered jobs in the Spanish city of Marinaleda. He left Portugal and came to Marinaleda with that rumor. But after getting there, his condition became more deplorable. There he had to reach out to people on the street for food. A few months later, Bozi met with the mayor of the city of Marinaleda. The mayor hired him as his own driver. Fatir's father won the mayor's heart with his honesty, politeness and hard work. The mayor then gladly allowed him to bring his family member to Marinaleda. Fatir was then six years old. Fatir's mother then moved to Spain with her three sons and daughter.
The way handcuffs in football
Although Fatir's father could not establish himself as a footballer, he always encouraged his children. Fatima has been a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo since he joined Real Madrid in 2009. He then regularly watched Real Madrid play and kept track of the club. And chose Ronaldo as his role model.
Fati is just learning to play football. Then his elder brother Breima Fatima went a long way. Brema passed the trial in Sevilla and was signed by him Fati's elder brother used to take her with him during the practice due to her enthusiasm Fati himself later tried in Sevilla but was not informed of the results. That’s why he joined another club here, Herrera. After a year at Herrera, Sevilla took him to the team. Because at a young age he showed a glimpse of his talent. Scouts from Barcelona and Real Madrid came to their home to take Fati to the team. Fati said about this,
"When I was in Sevilla, Real Madrid offered me a better chance than Barcelona. Both clubs came to our house to convince my parents."
Seeing Fatir's appreciation, Sevilla wanted to hold him. But due to some complications he has to give up. However, this did not have any detrimental effect on Fatir's career. After Sevilla released him, Barcelona scouts brought him to La Messia. He was only nine years old then. Real Madrid, however, offered to take Fatima to the academy in exchange for a large sum of money. But Fatir's father turned down the offer.
Coming to the star-studded La Messia, Fati has been showing her talent from the very beginning. Tatefusa Kubo, known as the Japanese Messi, was Fatir's friend at the Barcelona academy. They have both been the top scorers in the academy numerous times. Later, however, the two of them parted ways. One is now playing for Bara, the other for Real Madrid.
Stumbling on the way to fulfilling a dream
Fatima became the captain of La Messia for a while due to his talent. He suffered a fatal injury when he took another step towards fulfilling his dream. In December 2015, an Espanyol defender suffered a fractured tibia and fibula in his right leg. As a result, he had to leave the field for 10 months and was repeatedly hospitalized. During his illness, his elder brother Breima performed his duties. He gave courage to his younger brother and strengthened his morale.

Returning from injury, Fati once again made an impact in youth football. As a result, in July 2019, Barca signed a formal contract with him for four years. After the contract, everyone in the family was waiting for him to come on the field of the main team of Bara. Finally, on August 25, his dream came true Fati made history by playing for Bara in the first match of La Liga. Everyone knows the next story. Ansu Fati is considered to be the biggest star of Bara's future. After 2022, its value may increase several times. Then the fans have to think about whether Barca will be able to hold him.
