Barcelona boss Hansi Flick had some words of praise for Ansu Fati after he finally some saw first-team minutes on Wednesday against Dortmund.
Fati was a late substitute for Lamine Yamal as he featured for the first time since January. The youngster received a warm welcome when he ran out onto the pitch and Flick said it was deserved.
“It was good that Ansu was able to play. He deserved to play. It’s important for him to get minutes,” he told reporters.
“He’s training very well and deserved to play. I’ve spoken with him a lot and told him what I expect from him, and he’s conveyed that in recent weeks.
