His first goal showcased his lightning pace and level of strength, as he shoved away from his marker before composedly slotting beneath goalkeeper Aitor Fernandez. His second coming after Messi played the ball into his right feet which he shifted to his left before drilling in a low shot through Aitor.

At 17 years and 94 days old, Fati became the youngest player to score two goals in a single LaLiga match in the competition’s history.

In the game, only Messi managed more shots (10) and more efforts on target (six) than Fati (five and two). Barca’s captain was also the only player to better Fati for chances created (seven, compared to three); no Barca player made more tackles than Fati (four), with Gerard Pique closest on two.
