Nico Gonzalez following in Ansu Fati and Ilaix Moriba's footsteps

The midfielder netted his first goal for Barcelona on the trip to face Osasuna at El Sadar

Nico Gonzalez netted his first goal for Barcelona at El Sadar in the 2-2 draw at Osasuna.

The last time he netted in a game was November 2018 for the youth team against Inter Milan. Three years later, he’s finally back on the scoresheet.

It didn’t last long for Barcelona with David Garcia heading home at the other end but it was nicely taken by Nico.

He follows in Ansu Fati and Ilaix Moriba’s footsteps; both netted their first goals for the club at El Sadar. Ansu in his second game with the first team, after playing the last 12 minutes against Real Betis in the match before.

The player came on at half-time for Semedo and five minutes later netted the first of hopefully many for Barcelona. It was August 31, 2019.

The next season, Ilaix played in 14 games in a row. In the second of those, at El Sadar, he netted the second in a 2-0 win with a powerful effort from the edge of the box. It was March 6, 2021.
