"I had an offer from Madrid which was for a lot of money. But Albert Puig came and told me they were from Barça and had a project. In a few years I saw what they meant.

His feelings after his son's debut

It's been a crazy week in the Fati family. It began with his son training alongside the first team to making his debut at the Camp Nou against Real Betis.

He explained that he had various conversations with Ansu throughout the last couple of days about what might happen. "I can't keep anything down, dad. I can't eat, I can't sleep." And who are his idols? "My idols are the coaches I've had at Barça, dad."

"I can rest easy now I've seen him make his debut with Barça. It won't be the only time, they'll be a lot more."
