Ansu Fati's last chance

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick admitted Ansu Fati deserved to come off the bench in the 4-0 win over Borussia Dortmund in the early morning of April 10.

Ansu Fati has not given up hope at Barcelona.

“For Ansu, it was important to get minutes,” Flick said after the win. “Lamine Yamal played a lot of minutes and asked to be substituted. We fulfilled that request. But I was actually planning to bring Ansu Fati on; he deserved to play.”

Fati has struggled to find playing time this season. However, he is determined to stay at Barcelona. Fati refused to leave in the January transfer window in the hope of securing his future at Barcelona. With the summer transfer window about to open, the last two months of the season are Fati's chance to convince coach Flick.

"I don't give minutes to players arbitrarily. Ansu gets to play because of the way he trains," the German strategist emphasized. In the match against Dortmund, Fati entered the field in the last five minutes to replace Lamine Yamal.

With a total of just 191 minutes of playing time this season, Fati has a long way to go to convince the Barcelona board to keep him. The club is allowed to sell Fati to ease the financial burden. The player is receiving around 200,000 pounds a week in wages at Barcelona.

Leaving Barcelona in the summer is still a possible scenario for Fati, but if he finishes the season in good form, coach Flick could change his mind.

Yamal's classy performance in Barca's big win over Dortmund Lamine Yamal had an impressive performance to help Barca win over Dortmund in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in the early morning of April 10.
