Although Ansu Fati was brilliant in FC Barcelona's 4-0 LaLiga win over Villarreal on Sunday, he missed out on the Man of the Match award due to a strange reason.

The 17-year-old winger stole the show in Ronald Koeman's debut LaLiga match as Barcelona first-team boss, scoring twice and winning a penalty, all before half-time.
Fati opened the scoring with a remarkable first-time finish off a Jordi Alba cross in the 15th minute, and found the back of the net again with a smart finish just four minutes later, before he won a spot-kick in the 35th minute.
Despite his brilliant display, left-back Alba was named the official "King of the Match" after the game, but Get Spanish Football News has claimed it could have gone to Fati.
The reason it did not go to the Guinea-Bissau-born attacker, however, is because he is still underage, and Budweiser is an alcohol company.
Ansu Fati could not be chosen as the Man of the Match for Barcelona tonight because the sponsors are a beer company (Budweiser) and he's underage. Jordi Alba is MOTM instead.
