I am not inferring that this young man will become Lionel Messi! I do not honestly think that is possible. However, after Messi leaving Barcelona, Ansu Fati has taken the famous number 10 shirt and has taken a lot of responsibility on his young shoulders. I am an avid watcher of La Liga, the Spanish top division, and in particular FC Barcelona. Ansu Fati flew onto the scene during the 2019-2020 season, aged 16 years old! 16! He became the second youngest player to debut for the historic club, even this is an achievement on its own!
In his first month playing for the Spanish giants he scored his first professional goal, becoming the third youngest to score in La Liga in the history of the league. That didn't take him long did it? This young man, now aged 18 years old, has already broken all sorts of records in both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League. He became the youngest player to score in the Champions league in December 2019, scoring the winner against Inter Milan. The statistics say it all about this young talent - scoring 14 goals in 46 appearances in La Liga. Relatively impressive considering he was playing alongside Lionel Messi the whole time!
However, it is not all about the records and statistics which show why this Spanish sensation is so brilliant. It is also his general play while watching him, he is one of the most pacey and direct players in the world at the moment, but he also has the final product. Having watched him, he makes very few errors or wrong judgments and is also able to finish a move off. I believe he is one of the hottest players in the world right now, and is definitely a superstar in the making for both FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team.
Nice post dude! This makes me wanna watch some football 😂
