The forward scored on Friday night in a 3-1 defeat to Lorient in Ligue 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It\u2019s a good moment for Fati who was making his first appearance since the end of November after recovering from a hamstring problem. His goal is his first since early October and means he now has six in 11 top flight appearances for Monaco.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Monaco and Fati now go on to face Real Madrid next in the Champions League on Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabeu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Madrid head into the fixture after a chaotic week that might just give Monaco hope of securing a famous result in the Spanish capital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Los Blancos were beaten by Barcelona in the final of the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday night which led to the departure of Xabi Alonso as manager.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Alvaro Arbeloa was promptly installed as manager and endured a nightmare first game in charge as Real Madrid crashed out of the Copa del Rey against Albacete.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">He still does have time to make an impact in the final months of the season and would surely love nothing more than to pour more misery on Real Madrid next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Barcelona loanee Ansu Fati is back from injury and back in the goals for Monaco.
