Ansu Fati Breaks the Record in the 21st Century

DBasia.news –  Barcelona’s landslide victory over Valencia at Camp Nou on Week four of LaLiga, Sunday (9/15) AM, local time, was marked by the phenomenal action of the 16-year-old player, Ansu Fati.

Barcelona won a landslide victory of 5-2 victory over Valencia at Camp Nou through goals scored by Ansu Fati (2 ‘), Frenkie de Jong (7’), Gerard Pique (51 ‘), and two goals by Luis Suarez (61’ and 82 ‘) , scaled down by Kevin Gameiro (27 ‘) and Maxi Gomez (90 + 2’).

Fati has started breaking records when he was made a starter by Ernesto Valverde. The player with the number 31 became the youngest Barca player of all time who started at Camp Nou, beating Marc Muniesa’s record in 2009.

Only Vicenc Martinez who was younger than Fati in an away game for Barcelona against Real Madrid in 1941. Martinez was 16 years and 280 days. Fati continued to break the record through goals and assists for De Jong’s goal.

According to OptaJose, Ansu Fati became the youngest player in the 21st Century of LaLiga with his goals and assists (at the age of 16 years and 318 days). The goal has made Fati the youngest player of all time to score at Camp Nou.

Fati’s career journey with Barcelona is still a while away. Too fast to make him as Lionel Messi’s successor in Barcelona. Barcelona defender, Clement Lenglet, reminded this and hoped Barcelona did not put pressure on the Guinea-born player.

“He (Fati) is 16 years old and we have to be patient with him. It is true he is taking advantage of the opportunities he receives and he is a good kid and deserves the future he hopes for,” said Lenglet in Sport-English.

“I am really happy for him, but we have to give him time because he is only 16 years old and things can change quickly. I hope not, but we have to take care and support him when he plays. My advice is to listen to people and work hard because it’s very difficult to play for Barcelona.
