Ansu Fati, the new number 10
Barça youngster becomes the latest in an spectacular line of players to wear the iconic shirt number
The number 10 shirt has always been a special one in football, and no more so than at FC Barcelona, where its previous incumbent was none other than the great Leo Messi from 2008 until his recent departure. Before him, Ronaldinho was another superstar to wear the famous number.
The next player to don the big one-zero will be Ansu Fati, who has already set plenty of records himself for being the youngest in club history to achieve a wide range of different things.
Previously, in the 2019/20 season, Ansu Fati had worn 31, and then in 2020/21 switched to 22.
Since fixed squad numbers were introduced in 1995/96, these are all the Barça players that have worn the number 10:
- Cuéllar (1995/96)
- Giovanni (1996-1999)
- Litmanen (1999/00)
- Rivaldo (2000-2002)
- Riquelme (2002/03)
- Ronaldinho (2003-2008)
- Leo Messi (2008-2021)
