'What Garnacho lacks': Man United fan notes impressive Pellistri quality in heroics vs Barcelona

Facundo Pellistri delivered an outstanding performance on his debut for Granada in their thrilling 3-3 draw with Barcelona.

That scoreline would have been impossible for the relegation-threatened LaLiga side without Pellistri, who scored as well as got an assist.

He played 84 minutes and also became the youngest player to do so against Barcelona in an away league game since Samuel Eto'o.

A fan delivered an interesting analysis of the Manchester United loanee's performance, claiming he has something even Alejandro Garnacho lacks.

The fan, named themanchester21, tweeted: "The way Barcelona players keep fouling Facundo Pellistri because he's just dancing around them with the ball.

"Pellistri easily wins possession from the opponents. That's one thing Garnacho lacks so far."

Pellistri won possession back from Barcelona five times and was accurate, having bagged a goal and an assist from just two shots on target.

If the youngster can continue this till the end of the season, his value will shoot up ahead of a crucial summer transfer window.
