Ansu Fati will continue from where Lionel Messi stopped after Barcelona handed the Spanish star the legendary number ten (10) shirt won by the Argentine for many years.

It is understood that teenage midfielder Pedri who wore No.16 was in line to be given the shirt number after breaking into Ronald Koeman's team last season.

However, a recent video released by La Blaugrana on social media revealed how Fati was presented with the iconic number.

The N.10 short has been vacant since Messi made a summer move to Paris Saint-Germain after failing to sign a new deal.

Meanwhile, Barcelona striker Antoine Griezmann will now play at Atletico Madrid as he returns to his former club on a two-year loan as deal was sealed on transfer deadline day. Although there were no signs of any transfer involving the Frenchman, it took until the final day to for the Catala giants to get Griezmann off their wage bill.

Barca reports that the 30-year-old forward re-signed with Los Colchoneros on a two-year loan which holds an option to buy at the end of it.
