Video: A classic clip of a young blind kid identifying Barcelona players by touch

This is phenomenal

Tony Cuddihy

Two years later this video has resurfaced, and it’s brilliant.

A blind nine-year-old called Mamadou met his Barcelona idols, including former players Carles Puyol and Eric Abidal, and what followed next was phenomenal.

He managed to identify every one of the players by touch alone, with Lionel Messi visibly in awe of the kid.

This was filmed two years ago this month, and really is wonderful to watch.
