Is there anything Ansu can’t do?
Ansu Fati became the second-youngest player to feature for Barcelona in La Liga when the 16-year-old was handed his debut in Sunday’s 5-2 win over Real Betis, but he doesn’t look too phased by his progression.
Caught on camera in a training session ahead of Barca’s game against Osasuna this weekend, Ansu showed his class with a wonderful backheel flick to score.
Given that he’s training alongside Lionel Messi, it’s not surprising that the youngster has improved so rapidly but it takes a lot of confidence to pull off something like that, even when it’s not a real game!
We can only hope that the teenager sticks around in the event a certain Mr Neymar Jr. returns to Camp Nou this summer.
However, he still has a long way to go in the backheel stakes before he reaches these guys. Here’s our countdown of the best backheel goals.

Charlton score direct from kickoff
Charlton 4-2 Manchester United isn’t a scoreline you will see too often, but the Addicks’ under-18 side pulled it off last week. That wasn’t the most incredible thing about the game, however.
No, that was this amazing shot from the halfway line.
😱 STUNNER!

It takes some skill to score from that far out, but to make it look so casual as well is just off the charts. Hats off to Aaron Henry.
