Ansu Fati loan spell at Monaco is off to a flying start, with the Barcelona forward hitting a new milestone in France.
The 21-year-old has scored six goals in all competitions, including an impressive brace during Monaco’s 2-2 draw with Nice last weekend.
Fati Ligue 1 numbers are remarkable — five goals in just 126 minutes of league action, a strike rate few can match, reports Barca Blaugranes.
According to Opta, he’s become the fastest player to reach five goals for a new club in Ligue 1 since the 1947–48 season.
That means he has surpassed the previous record held by Johan Audel with Valenciennes (137 minutes) and Emmanuel Rivière with Monaco (174 minutes).
Record-Breaking Form and Renewed Confidence
Fati’s current ratio stands at a goal every 42 minutes in Ligue 1, highlighting his incredible efficiency in front of goal.
Despite his personal success, Monaco’s manager Adi Hutter faces pressure following recent inconsistent results, including the draw with Nice.
Speaking to Ligue 1+, Ansu Fati admitted the team needs to improve while expressing satisfaction with his growing confidence on the pitch.
“We know we have to work harder,” he said. “It’s a derby, and we wanted to win, but we’ll keep improving.”
Barcelona fans will be encouraged to see Fati rediscovering his form after injury struggles, with hopes high for his long-term development in France.
