After 11 long months on the sidelines, Ansu Fati returned to action for Barcelona on Sunday afternoon.
The 18-year-old forward made his return against Levante at the Camp Nou after a serious knee injury had kept him out for a lengthy period.
Barcelona’s new No.10 came on in the 80th minute and marked the occasion in the best way possible – scoring to wrap up a 3-0 win for the Azulgrana.

Ansu Fati is one of the most exciting young talents that the club have had in a long time, and after a series of injuries plaguing Ronald Koeman’s side, he’ll be a welcome addition to the group.
The Barcelona fans were also delighted to see him back again and gave him a warm reception as he warmed up and also when he came on.
Playing on the left side of the attack, Ansu Fati had a strong penalty claim before netting his team’s third goal of the game a few minutes later after winning the ball in the Levante half, dribbling towards the area and drilling a low shot past Aitor Fernandez.
Barcelona is still without Pedri, Jordi Alba, Sergio Aguero, Martin Braithwaite, Ousmane Dembele and Sergi Roberto, but Ansu Fati’s return is great news for everyone at the club. [Marca]
