Moussa Wague: From barefoot in Senegal to La Liga in Camp Nou

As a child, Moussa Wague, played football barefoot in Senegal but defied the odds as he made his first La Liga start at Camp Nou for Bacelona

Last Saturday, Barcelona beat Leganes 2-1 at the Estadio de Butarque, in what was a very special match for Barca and Senegal defender Moussa Wague. This was not only Wague's first appearance of the season in La Liga for the Catalan giants, but it was also his first-ever start at Camp Nou. Joining in the summer of 2018 to initially play in the club’s academy side, prior to Saturday he had already played three games under Ernesto Valverde last season.
