Was it your last goal with him? FC Barcelona? Amid the rumors of his possible departure, Ansu Fati scored in a 2-1 loss to Celta Vigo for the last day of Santander League. The young striker’s goal served to make him the second top scorer for Blaugrana in the league tournament, after Robert Lewandowski, and incidentally to scare the local team, which was fighting for permanence in the First Division and finally succeeded.
It was running in the 78th minute of play when Ousmane Dembélé placed a perfect cross in the rival area. The 20-year-old Spaniard arrived and connected with his head to score discount in the game, which was 0-2 with scores from Gabri Veiga. Ansu Fati picked up the ball and quickly went to midfield for the game to continue. He was looking for the tie that never came.
The attacker has not had much luck in the physical field: he was injured in a cruel way and did not play a good part of the season. Anyway, whenever he came in he had outstanding performances and, most importantly, he scored a couple of important goals. The blaugrana fans are divided: some want him to stay, while others already see him out of the club.
“We have to wait and see what the scenario will be. He is a footballer that I like and he has helped us a lot. It is evident that he is coming out of a very difficult situation because of the injuries. But he has to have continuity and I can’t guarantee it. This is Barcelona. not an NGO”, Xavi Hernández said a few days ago about the striker.
