Xavi Defends Ansu Fati Despite Criticism, Names One Game Aspect He Improved

"Ansu Fati looks great. He played from the start [v Espanyol] because he is training very well. He has made a tremendous change in terms of defensive work. Ansu lacked effectiveness in front of goal that the entire team also lacked, but I see him growing very well," Xavi has told the media.

Ansu Fati was arguably Barca's worst performer against Espanyol. The forward failed to make the difference or simply contribute to the team's attacking play positively.

The 20-year-old has scored 3 goals and provided 3 assists in 21 appearances for Blaugrana this season.
