Barcelona fans react to Ansu Fati's performance against Mallorca - have a request for Hansi Flick

Barcelona fans have given their verdict on Ansu Fati after his first start in six months.

On Tuesday night, the Catalan team took another step towards winning the 2024/25 La Liga title with a 1-0 victory over Mallorca at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium.

When the lineup for the match was named shortly before kick-off, many fans were shocked to see Barcelona star Raphinha named on the bench for the match, replaced by Fati, who received his first start since October.

In the wake of the match, fans of the La Liga giants took to social media to offer their opinion on the Spaniard's performance and it seems many of them agree.

Having come through the famous La Masia academy, Fati has long been seen as a future star and a wonder kid at Barcelona and yet, the winger has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter.

So far this season, Fati has made just 10 appearances for Barcelona, ​​with just five of them coming in La Liga, meaning fans were eager to see how he would fare against Mallorca.

And it's safe to say they were impressed, as Fate played just over an hour away from the decisive victory.

Reacting to Fati's performance in the match, one fan wrote: "Great performance from Fati today he looked sharp for someone who hasn't played for a while. He should definitely start again in the next match against Real Valladolid."

Another agreed, adding: "Fati's intelligence is ridiculous; his ability to process spatial/temporal dynamics and predict passing networks is extraordinary in another universe, under Flick and his central priorities, he is very clearly a valuable striker."

While one commented: "60 brilliant minutes from Ansu Fati. I'm refusing to get my hopes up again, but I really enjoyed it."

"He just generates so much football. Such great awareness, technique in small spaces and spatial awareness," wrote another fan.

In total, the 22-year-old has made 122 appearances for Barcelona, ​​scoring 29 goals and assisting eight times. /Telegraph/
