"Messi s successor" is resurrected in Ligue 1. Does Barcelona still need him?

Just when Barcelona suffered a crushing defeat in La Liga, good news came from the Ligue 1 stadium. In the 7th round of Ligue 1, Monaco played against Nice, Fati scored two penalty kicks and scored three consecutive Ligue 1 goals. After joining Monaco, he has achieved a 6-goal report card of 5 games.

As the former "Messi successor", Fati was once forced to the verge of retirement by injuries. In this summer window in the past, Monaco unexpectedly "takes over" Fati. Arriving at a pretty good platform, Fati showed a strong competitive spirit. Not only did he devote himself to training, but his condition and discipline during the game were also eye-catching.

After experiencing a major injury, Fati has completely lost his speed and explosive power, and only remaining shooting skills are available. This kind of player with a single function and a high risk of injury will find it difficult to meet the requirements of a team that competes for the championship in multiple lines. Barcelona has basically blocked Fati's return path with Ferran Torres and Rashford. Espanyol needs to gain a foothold in Ligue 1 with continuous efforts and open up a new situation in their career.
