"FC Barcelona have announced that young winger Roony Bardghji will wear the No. 19 shirt moving forward, starting from the Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid, after securing his first-team registration. The 20-year-old Swede, who was signed from FC Copenhagen in the summer, was given the No. 28 shirt at the start of the season as he was still registered as a reserve team player despite being a part of the first-team setup."
"Interestingly, the last Barcelona player to wear the No. 19 kit before Bardghji was none other than Lamine Yamal, who took the #10 shirt in the current campaign. Prior to that, the likes of Franck Kessie, Ferran Torres, and Sergio Aguero wore the shirt. Former captain and club legend Lionel Messi also played with No. 19 on his back for a few years at the start of his first-team career at Barcelona."
FC Barcelona have registered Roony Bardghji with the first team and assigned him the No. 19 shirt, effective from the Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid. The 20-year-old Swede joined from FC Copenhagen in the summer and initially wore No. 28 while still registered as a reserve player. The No. 19 is the same number he wore during the pre-season tour of Asia. Previous Barça players to wear No. 19 include Lamine Yamal, Franck Kessie, Ferran Torres, Sergio Aguero, and Lionel Messi early in his career. Bardghji starred in the Super Cup semifinal win against Athletic and aims to establish himself wearing No. 19.
