Valverde: 'Exceptional' Ansu Fati Will Feature In Champions League If Needed
Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde says he will not hesitate to use 16-year-old sensation Ansu Fati in Champions League action.
Barcelona could be set to hand a Champions League debut to Ansu Fati, the 16-year-old who has taken LaLiga by storm this season, when they visit Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.
"I've not spoken with him, save for tactical matters," Valverde admitted. "I don't like the history of giving advice. Of course I will talk with him, but you have to give him some breathing space.
"What he is doing is exceptional. If he plays, it's not so he can break a record, but because of the needs of the team. We love him."
