After a break of almost a year, Ansumanne Fati intervened in a competitive match against Levante, replacing Luuk de Jong in the 81st minute. Barcelona dominated the match and took the three points for a 3-0 win. It also ended a three-match winless streak in style. Fati, who came on after almost a year off due to a knee injury, scored a goal.

Overall, the Catalans played a very good game. Nice performances by youngsters Riqui Puig, Gavi and Nico González. Luuk de Jong scored his first goal for Barcelona, and Sergiño Dest also had an excellent performance.

But none of this will overcome the return of Ansumann Fati. The Spaniard, originally from Guinea Bissau, had a really good performance and crowned his performance with a goal to make it 3: 0.

After the match, Fati had the opportunity to talk to the press. What did he say after his successful comeback?

“I can’t imagine. I’m back in the team again. I will try to help him as much as I can. We’ll see how I feel, but it’s clear I’ll be fighting for minutes on the pitch.”

Ansu also told the press about the club’s goals for this season: ” We want to fight for the league and the Champions League. We are Barcelona and we have to work hard and fight for our goals.”

Of course, Fati was also asked about his new jersey number: ” It is a great honour to wear the number ten after Lionel Messi.”

Barcelona have taken advantage of the hesitation of Real Madrid, who lead La Liga with 17 points, and are now only 5 points behind their arch enemy, with a game to spare.

Just the kind of impetus the Catalan side needed right now. In three days’ time, they will face Benfica, which will be very important, followed by two league games against Atlético Madrid and Valencia.

Even then, Barcelona will not rest, as there is another Champions League match against Dynamo Kiev and then El Clásico. Luckily for Ronald Koeman’s charges, both of these matches are being played at the Camp Nou.
