🔝 In his first Ligue 1 season: former Barça talent outshines even Messi | OneFootball

His time in Monaco has been a rollercoaster for the former Barça talent. After Ansu Fati scored five goals in his first three Ligue 1 matches, he failed to find the net again.

Under new coach Sébastien Pocognoli, he also didn’t get much playing time, and a thigh injury slowed him down. But just in time for the new year, he’s fit again and even scored immediately during his 20-minute appearance against FC Lorient over the weekend.

With his sixth Ligue 1 goal in his eleventh match, he even surpassed Lionel Messi. ‘La Pulga’ needed 26 games to score his first six goals in his debut Ligue 1 season.

A few years ago, Ansu Fati was considered a huge talent until injuries held him back. A loan to Brighton & Hove Albion was supposed to help him get back on track, but he couldn’t regain his old form there either and returned to Spain.

Now, the loan spell in France seems to be going better. Hopefully, the left winger can even surpass Messi and score more goals in Ligue 1.
