Ansu Fati and the Endrick case

The Spaniard arrived last summer, and after a period of adaptation, he started to gain prominence and score goals until a minor injury kept him out for a few weeks. Now he is once again taking center stage and will be one of the weapons of the team from The Principality to secure a spot in the Champions League.

The case of Endrick is different. Without much prominence last season with Ancelotti, he barely had opportunities with Xabi Alonso at the start of this campaign, just like with Arbeloa, and that's why they decided to loan him to Olympique de Lyon from Madrid. Already in France, he had a few promising minutes, but as the weeks went by, the Brazilian started to deflate, and even his coach publicly stated that he expected more from him.

How are their seasons coming along?

The season is nearing its end, and with that, we can start reviewing how the clubs and some players' campaigns have been. With the crucial stretch still ahead, which will define the champions of the leagues and European competitions, each club has its goal ahead, just like the footballers, who will want to finish their campaigns in the best possible way, seeking certain opportunities in the summer or simply ending with good feelings.

With a few matches ahead, a comparison can already be made between the two footballers, and the Madrid player comes out 'losing'. Ansu has scored nine goals in 872 minutes in Ligue 1, averaging a goal approximately every 97 minutes. Endrick has scored four goals in 902 minutes, averaging a goal every 225 minutes. The Brazilian also adds six assists to his tally in Ligue 1, something the Spaniard has not achieved.

The importance of finishing well

For both players, the end of the season will be crucial: a good conclusion can open doors in the transfer market or reinforce their place in the plans of their original clubs; an irregular campaign, on the other hand, would complicate those possibilities. With the decisive stretch ahead, clubs and footballers are rushing to get in shape: the former, seeking collective goals, the latter, personal opportunities that will mark their immediate future.
