Ansu Fati says goodbye to Dembele sparks wild reaction as Barcelona struggles to beat AC Milan.
Early on Wednesday, August 2nd former child prodigy Ansu Fati scored FC Barcelona's only goal against AC Milan in a friendly match in Las Vegas, United States.
Xavi Hernandez used Gavi as a false left winger in Fati's place last season as Barcelona won the title.
Fati was declared surplus to requirements and placed on the transfer market since the Catalans were cash-strapped and struggled to register new signings.
No one has stepped up to make an offer that comes close to what Barcelona expects to get for Fati.
Fati traveled to the United States for the Blaugrana's preseason tour, where he has so far only been utilized occasionally.
Against AC Milan Fati was brought on, substituted in at halftime for Ez Abde for the fourth, and made an immediate impression with a goal assisted by Alejandro Balde which won the game for Barcelona.
Ansu Fati reactions
Fati rose to the top of the trends on social media as fans believed that he is back and poised to have his best campaign yet.
After the goal, Ftai looked dangerous with a spring in his step and came close to adding a second goal.
Ansu Fati and Dembele reactions
After the goal, Fati ran to the Barcelona bench to celebrate with French star Ousmane Dembele.
Dembele was in action as Barcelona beat Real Madrid in an El Clasico friendly but was dropped for the game against AC Milan.
There are reports that Dembele is joining French side Paris Saint-Germain, and Fati celebrating with him sparked reactions on social media.
Some Barcelona fans stated that Fati's celebration with Dembele is a signal that he will do well to replace the Frenchman.
Other Barcelona fans were not happy Fati decided to celebrate with Dembele, who is now termed a snake.
Fati will return to Catalonia tomorrow as Barça's title defense starts against Getafe on August 13, Fati should participate but take Tottenham Hotspur in the Joan Gamper Trophy match before that.
