Tips

culture

In Chinese sports media, 巴蒂 is most often the affectionate short form of Gabriel Batistuta (巴蒂斯图塔, Bādìsītútǎ) — the Argentine football star who played for Fiorentina and Roma in the 1990s and was Argentina's all-time top scorer until 2016. In other contexts the same characters can render Western names like Batty, Baty, or the Harry Potter character Barty Crouch.
