Eric Garcia praises ‘magic’ Ansu Fati after Barcelona beat Betis

Barcelona defender Eric Garcia was full of praise for his good friend and team-mate Ansu Fati after the teenager scored in Saturday’s 2-1 win over Real Betis.

Eric shared his thoughts on the striker after the match and is hoping, along with the rest of the Barcelona support, that Fati can now enjoy and injury-free run.

“Ansu is one of these players that are born with that talent and that magic,” he said.

“Let’s hope that the injuries respect him, because in 20 minutes he’s demonstrated how he can help this team.”

The center-back also spoke about the arrival of Xavi and how the team are now aiming to finish second after securing Champions League football for next season.
