"I will never forget Messi's gesture to me"

In a recent interview with Ansu Fati for 'France Football', the striker looked back on several moments of his Barcelona career, including the hug Messi gave him in the dressing room after his first-team debut.

"Messi was waiting for us in the dressing room to congratulate us on the victory after my debut against Real Betis in Sevilla. When I arrived, he hugged me! The team photographer took a picture of the two of us and then Leo uploaded it to his Instagram. Many people liked the post and started following me.

"I received millions of notifications on my mobile phone, it was crazy. I will never forget this gesture, I will be eternally grateful to him. It was something very important to me," Ansu Fati added.

"I keep the photo at home forever. I remember Ronaldinho supported him a little bit in the same way when he started. He did the same with me. This was a real motivational boost for me," the Barca player concluded.
