Barcelona’s young sensation in Ansu Fati has been at the centre stage in the past month and a half.
The 17-year-old, however, in the post-match interview acclaimed that he has been learning from Messi and that the Barcelona ace has still got many a trick up his sleeve, as per Goal.
Last night also meant that Ronald Koeman started his Champions League career at Barcelona with an emphatic 5-1 win against the Hungarian team, Ferencvárosz, even after being reduced to 10 men.
Barcelona still have some quality youngsters in the line-up and no doubt, they have a lot to offer now and in the future, if given adequate chances.
Fati was the one who doubled the lead after Messi scored from a penalty in the first half. The 17-year-old was joined by another starlet in Pedri, who is eager to make a case for himself. What’s more benefitting is that Ousmane Dembele managed to find the back of the net and that should give him a lot of confidence, heading into the weekend’s El Classico.
If Dembele can find his previous form at Barcelona, the attack of the Blaugrana will be one of the most feared ones because Messi’s playmaking skills would be combining with the sheer pace of Dembele and Griezmann’s finishing. In short, it would take off a lot from Messi’s shoulders.
The 33-year-old found his way into the record books as well. He became the first player to score in 16 consecutive Champions League campaigns.

It was a very resounding win and the Catalans needed a win of that sorts after their 8-2 drubbing. Even though this comes against a much smaller team, it is going to do a world of good to the confidence of the youngsters and that’ll hold the Catalan giants in good stead.
