Ansu Fati continues to recover his best form away from Fútbol Club Barcelona. The Spanish-Guinean attacker, on loan this season to AS Monaco, was once again a protagonist in the Côte d'Azur derby against OGC Nice, where he scored a brace from the penalty spot to salvage a draw (2-2) and keep the Principality team alive.

Monaco was down 0-2 at the Louis II stadium when their current franchise player, Ansu Fati, took responsibility. Without a tremor, he converted two penalties awarded by referee Benoît Millot, who had previously signaled a penalty in favor of the visitors.

With this performance, the Barça youth player now has five goals so far this season, equaling the also young Panichelli, formerly of Alavés and Mirandés, now at Strasbourg.

The best version of Ansu: confidence, consistency, minutes, and goals

Austrian coach Adi Hütter has managed to bring back the forward's best form. A starter for the second consecutive match, he played the full 90 minutes and showed a physical and mental level far superior to that of previous months. The coach's decision to keep him on the field reflects his full confidence in his talent, something Ansu needed after several years marked by injuries and inconsistency.

Ansu Fati's goals with Monaco

Ansu, who made his debut with Monaco in the Champions League against Brugge, has wasted no time in exploding as a scorer. The goal in his debut was just the beginning of a series that included a brace against Metz, a goal against Lorient, and two more against Nice. In total, Ansu Fati has six goals with Monaco, five in Ligue 1 and one in the Champions League.

KEEP AN EYE ON THIS: Ansu Fati has scored six goals for Monaco to date. Two braces, against Metz and Nice, and one goal against Brugge and another against Lorient.

With this performance, the forward, trained at La Masía, confirms that his loan to Ligue 1 is proving to be a complete success. In just a few weeks, he has gone from being a risky bet to becoming a key player for a Monaco side fighting for the top spots in the French league.

"The pearl of La Masía", a new idol in the Principality

On social media, Monaco fans are already calling him "the pearl of La Masía." His smile, his confidence, and his connection with his teammates have won over the fans at the Louis II, who see him as a game-changing player capable of deciding matches on his own.

Local media highlight his quiet leadership and competitive nature, traits reminiscent of the young talent who dazzled Barcelona fans when he broke into the first team.

Barça itself is closely following his performances, aware that this loan could mark a turning point in his career. In the offices of the Camp Nou, they celebrate every step forward Ansu takes, as he regains rhythm, confidence, and prominence through goals and consistency.
