  • Club executives and coach Adi Hütter had called the Bruges performance shocking and demanded collective responsibility, while praising Fati’s impact.
  • Fati is on loan from Barcelona with a reported €11 million option to buy, making his immediate form notable after limited minutes and injuries since 2023.
