As pointed out by Spanish newspaper Marca, his goal against Los Che made him the player with the most Barcelona goals before the age of 19 ahead of compatriot BojanKrkic.
BojanKrkic scored 12 goals for Barcelona before he turned 19 and the record stood for over a decade before it was broken by AnsuFati. Ansu moved ahead of BojanKrkic to 13 goalswith his goal against Valencia.
Barcelonalegend Lionel Messi didn't score as much as BojanKrkic and AnsuFati before his 19th birthday. Messi scored just seven goalsbefore he turned 19. Meanwhile, the Argentine wizardreached 42 goals before his 21st birthday.
