Ansu Fati couldn’t his disappointment on Saturday as he was again left on the bench by Hansi Flick during Barcelona’s dramatic win 4-3 over Celta Vigo.
The forward was named among the substitutes and looked like he might get some game time after being sent out to warm up.

However, it wasn’t to be for Ansu, and when he learned he wouldn’t be coming on after all he was spotted kicking a water cooler in anger.
Flick did praise Fati recently after he reappeared with a cameo off the bench against Dortmund but he hasn’t featured since.
And this week there’s again been speculation that Fati will leave the club in the summer transfer window after struggling for minutes under the German coach.
It’s not clear how much time Fati will see between now and the end of the season, although if Robert Lewandowski is ruled out for a few weeks it could hand the youngster a glimmer of hope.
