Former Barcelona striker Julio Salinas was delighted seeing Ansu Fati make a successful playing return.

Fati scored in his comeback game for yesterday's 3-0 win against Levante.

Salinas wrote for Mundo Deportivo: "After weeks of depression, Barça not only recovered the good game and the goals yesterday, but also found their new idol.

"After the departure of Leo Messi, Ansu Fati, who returned after 323 days of absence, had enough with 14 minutes on the field to make the stands go crazy. In addition to assuming the responsibility of wearing the 10 that Leo left this summer, Ansu returned the joy to the stands with his football and settled the game with a good goal.

"You have to go calmly, but his return is exciting again."
