Luis Enrique: "I wanted to see Ansu Fati train again here and see his level. After seeing it, I am very optimistic. He has recovered from the injury but he is not at the level to play with us yet. He may or may not play tomorrow.'
"To see Fati in this condition is really positive. I've seen him in better shape in terms of his self-confidence. He's a symmetrical player and we treat him like that. I have no doubts that he will return to his level. He is a unique player.'
"We don't have to rush things with Ansu. He is coming out of a very difficult year and we have to determine the times for him to play on a regular basis."
"Comparing Busquets and Gavi? I wouldn't compare Busquets with anyone else because anyone would lose to him, especially if he was very young."
Although, it makes absolutely no sense in comparing Busquets and Gavi because of their positional differences, let's just do it for the heck of it.
Playing for Barcelona, Busquets managed to complete 86.7 percent of the passes that he attempted, while Gavi finished at the 89 percent rate. Although Gavi produced just over half the number of passes attempted by the holding midfielder, the youngster usually plays the ball closest to the final third where the risk of misplacing a pass is higher.
Busquets and Gavi are the two midfielders who contributed the most in defence and are the two Barcelona outfielders who committed the most fouls. They are also the ones who received the most yellow cards.
Only Memphis Depay received more fouls than these two Barcelona academy products.
Given his position on the pitch, Gavi is involved in Barcelona's attacks more than his teammate. He had the higher chances created numbers.
