'It is our first time in the AFCON. Who knows when we will come back again? So I have to live and enjoy this moment,' said Barrow.

Barrow’s superb goal clinched a 1-0 win for Gambia over Guinea in the last 16 to set up a date with the Indomitable Lions, but even before that this Cup of Nations had been an extraordinary success for Tom Saintfiet’s team. Barrow coolly converted a last-minute penalty to secure a point against Mali and sent stunning free-kicks off the woodwork in that game and against Tunisia.“After the game my big brother called me and you could see all the people outside celebrating,” Barrow says.

As for Barrow, the boy from Banjul was still a teenager when he was given the opportunity by Atalanta to move to Bergamo. He has been a revelation at Bologna since joining in January 2020 and netting nine goals in his first half-season in Serie A.
