Ansu Fati Fires AS Monaco Into Form With Another Crucial Goal

Ansu Fati scored again for AS Monaco, making it three goals in his last four games. His latest strike continues a sharp improvement in both his play and Monaco’s results.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Fati found the net in Monaco‘s latest Ligue 1 match, capping a run of three goals over four games. In the previous match against Metz, he scored twice off the bench in a 5-2 win, helping Monaco overturn a slow first half and claim all three points. He also added another goal against Metz in a narrow 2-1 victory, showing a calm finish after a precise assist from Lamine Camara. Fati has notably scored in two games in a row, making him vital to Monaco’s attack.

AS MONACO’S SEASON SO FAR

Monaco have climbed up the Ligue 1 table after a stuttering start. They currently sit fourth, on 12 points from six matches, just three points behind leaders Lyon and PSG and level on points with Marseille and Strasbourg. Their biggest challenges have come against top sides, but Fati’s arrival and scoring form have injected new life into their attack. The team’s next match is at home to Manchester City for the Champions League before facing rivals Nice for the Ligue 1 ahead of the international break. A win could see Monaco close the gap with the leaders and move into a Champions League spot, as they are currently aiming for Champions League qualification again this year.

WHAT NEXT FOR FATI AND MONACO?

Fati is on loan from Barcelona and has recovered well after years of injury troubles. If his form continues, Monaco could push for a top-three finish in Ligue 1 and progress further in the UEFA Champions League, where they continue group stage play this week against Man City, who won theur opener against Napoli, as opposed to Monaco’s loss to Club Brugge. For Fati, a strong season in France could put him back on track for a return to Barcelona or a big summer move in 2026. Monaco will be counting on his goals as they face City and Nice next, with a top-four place hanging in the balance.
