MATCH checks out the sizzling BARCELONA wonderkid taking La Liga by storm! EMERGENCY BACK-UP! Barcelona began the season without the injured Messi or Luis Suarez, so Fati had to be called into the squad. He became the second-youngest player in the club’s history when he came on in their 5-2 win against Real Betis, and was back on the bench at Osasuna a week later… INSTANT IMPACT! With the champions trailing 1-0 at half-time to Osasuna, Ernesto Valverde turned to Fati.

After putting pen to paper on her first professional contract with The Gunners in 2016, she spent two separate loans spells at Everton – and convinced The Toffees to make her move permanent in January 2018! She was a really key figure for the Merseyside club in the first half of 2018-19, but her campaign was brought to an end by a bad ankle injury back in February. She’s fit again now and ready to reach her potential! FACTFILE Age: 21 Position: Striker Club: Everton Country: England HER…
