Ansu Fati had a monster game in Barcelona’s 4-0 triumph over Villarreal. The youngster scored twice and won a penalty, in effect having a hand in three of the four goals.
Lionel Messi was on hand as well to contribute, scoring one goal and forcing an own goal.
For a long time, Luis Suárez was Messi’s best friend in the Barcelona squad. Now, he has left the team. While Fati probably can’t replace Suárez as Messi’s best friend, there’s a burgeoning partnership between the old master and the prodigal student.
Suárez and Messi are similar in age and come from neighboring countries.
