Barcelona president Joan Laporta admits they're delighted with Ansu Fati's return.

After spending ten months recovering from knee surgery, Fati jumped from the bench on Sunday to score in victory over Levante.

Reacting today, Laporta told Barca TV: "He represents enthusiasm and hope, I liked seeing how he returned to the playing fields and the gratitude he had for the doctors and family. It is very nice to see a player who has had a bad time who is grateful with those who have cared for him.

"In life no one is infallible but Barça's medical services have a high level of effectiveness. They are very responsible people, professionally and personally.

"Coming back after the injury and scoring that goal generated an outburst of emotion to all the Catalans. Because of his personality, which we are getting to know little by little, he wanted to have the '10.'

"He took '10' if the captains give him permission, it is an act of humility that shows his personality, he has depth, he is decisive and a scorer."
