Ivan Rakitic has hailed youngster, Ansu Fati's impact as Barcelona defeated Leganes 2-0 at the Camp Nou on Tuesday night.

The 17-year-old scored the opening goal for the home side in the game while Lionel Messi's penalty ensured the Blaugrana have all points.

Fati's Barcelona teammates are continually impressed by his ability to have a say on the big stage.

Croatian midfielder, Rakitic, was left delighted by what he saw.

"I'm very happy for him," the Croatian said afterwards."He's doing a really impressive job and he has to have patience."

Next up for the LaLiga Santander leaders is a trip to take on Sevilla on Friday, which isn't going to be a trip they take lightly.

"There's very little time and we don't have many days off, but we have to take advantage of it in the best way possible," Rakitic explained.

"We'll be ready and motivated."
