Barca legend Dani Alves previously backed Fati to make a Messi-like recovery from a horror knee injury. Speaking in 2021, the former right-back said: “Me and Ansu talk a lot because he also speaks Portuguese and that common point has brought us together quite a bit. He has a great projection and he is a spectacular boy. He has a huge heart.
