Setien hails Fati for Barcelona display

Barcelona boss Quique Setien has hailed youngster Ansu Fati.

The youngster scored two goals with two assists from Lionel Messi against Levante. Quique’s men got a solid 2-1 win and could have won by more. 

However, they missed chances galore. Unlike the rest of the team however, Fati scored a brilliant goal and backed it up with another. At the age of 17 he has proven to be a highly influential player. 

“I think that Ansu is a boy that is emerging, that we all know that has great potential,” head coach Setien told a news conference.

“You have to understand that you have to give him peace of mind and confidence to exploit what he has inside.

“Apart from the two goals, what I give credit is the work he has done in defence. He has worked hard. He has given us solutions.”

“I am happy with many things, but not with everything. We have given up too many shots,” he said.

“We made a very good first half, I think we could score more goals. We lost a little control in the second half and conceded too much.

“But it was a good job by the team.”
