Hansi Flick's big miss after the 'stumble' against Real Sociedad

On a night of few lights and some shadows for FC Barcelona at Anoeta, Ansu Fati once again missed another opportunity to step forward and respond to the enthusiasm of Barcelona fans with his return. In a 'broken' match, the youth player had 25 minutes to help the team with some 'spark', but it all came to nothing.

The forward looked a couple of gears below what the game demanded, and despite there being a couple of 'flashes' starting from the left, the reality is that the Barça '10' was overwhelmed by the intensity of the 'txuri-urdin' defence and could barely influence the attack.

Has Hansi Flick tired of Ansu?

Ansu's continuity in Barcelona was a gamble by Hansi Flick, but the footballer has not been able to respond on the field and his credit is beginning to run out. The player is still not a regular and, according to 'SPORT', the coach does not have the feeling that the attacker is capable of revolutionising matches from the bench or offering something different to 'unblock' closed defences.

Lamine Yamal's injury opens a new door for him, and it is up to Fati to make a statement and show that he is still the young 'crack' who excited the culés before his first serious injury. Meanwhile, clubs such as Sevilla or Fenerbahçe are waiting in the shadows for the resolution of the future of a player who, if he maintains the poor form shown so far, could try his luck in a new horizon during the winter transfer market.
