Messi-Ansu Fati connection: Pictures of Messi giving instructions to Ansu Fati in Villarreal showdown emerge

Spanish broadcaster Movistar caught Leo Messi giving instructions to Ansu Fati during the Villarreal showdown.

These screens prove that the Argentine is Barcelona's true captain who cares about the young stars.

In fact, the relationship between Messi and Fati is similar to the Leo-Ronaldinho bond.

The Brazilian legend took great care of Leo during Messi's first steps at the Catalan club.

Here is what Ansu said on his connections with the captain: "Leo Messi helps me and gives me advice in matches and in training."

In the 4-0 Villarreal triumph, the 17-year-old scored a brace and won a penalty which Leo converted.
