The culé striker was decisive in Barça’s victory at Anoeta and incidentally smashed Isco’s record that had already turned a decade
Ansu Fati changed the face from top to bottom of a Barcelona that won 1-4 thanks to his contribution. It was the 60th minute of the match when Xavi Hernández decided to move the pieces of his bench with a totally unbalanced result and with the Hispano-Guinean doing magic to the delight of his companions.
At that time, the forward distributed two goal assists and also scored one more to become the first player in the League under 20 years of age since Isco Alarcón to achieve said company. The midfielder managed his moment of brilliance in 90 minutes of play in a duel against Zaragoza on February 25, 2012.
Ansu Fati only needed a little while to beat one of the most difficult marks to beat in the League. We can safely say that a piece of Robert Lewandowski’s 34th birthday cake will go to his pocket after assisting the Pole in one of his two goals.
The former Bayern player achieved a double full of important data for his career. He scored 44 seconds into the game, this being the earliest goal of his entire career. and we talked about an extensive with more than 600 goals in your stats.
It is curious that Ronaldo Nazario scored his earliest goal against Real Sociedad with the culé shirt at 82 seconds turning 20 years old, while Lewandowski did it in 44 seconds when he turned 34 as a Barça player. Both ended the match with a brace.
The Pole also became the fourth player of that nationality to score two goals in a League match after Urban, Kosecki and Kowalczyk. To join that club, Lewandowski has seen a lapse of more than a quarter of a century and the circumstance occurs that Anoeta has gone from being a cursed field for Barça to a benign one.
Anoeta, fertile land
After a streak of 8 straight games without winning at Anoeta (3 draws and 5 losses) between 2011 and 2016, the Catalans now have 8 in a row without losing at Anoeta (6 wins and 2 draws). In addition, the team has registered three consecutive victories that have been 1-6, 0-1 and 1-4.
Ansu Fati is together with Lewandowski the material author of this victory that dissipates the Doubts around the start of the season of a Barça that started with a 0-0 against Rayo. The team interrupted in Anoeta a streak of three official matches without scoring that had been dragging on from the previous season.
