Luis Enrique gets excited about ‘incredible’ Ansu Fati

Spain boss Luis Enrique spoke about Ansu Fati after handing the Barcelona youngster a first call-up to the national team on Thursday.

The former Barcelona boss says he has no doubt the 17-year-old is good enough to play for the senior side and is backing the youngster to play a big part in the team’s future.

“I know Ansu perfectly because of the team he plays for. He’s at the required level even if he hasn’t played as much. His numbers are excellent. Only Messi has a better goals-per-minutes ratio than him.
