The young forward dedicated the three points to the Argentine striker after heart problems

Once again, Ansu Fati showed that he's made of special stuff. He's almost always in the right place when the ball drops and is deadly when it comes to taking his chances. The Barcelona forward scored the only goal of the game in the 1-0 win against Dynamo Kyiv on Tuesday to keep the team's Champions League hopes alive.

"It was a good win, we're really happy, we're there and we're going to fight," Ansu told Movistar. "We depend on ourselves to get out of the group. Now we have to face Benfica and Bayern Munich and we're going to give everything. We knew it was an important week."

On his own fitness, after missing the last two games injured, Ansu continued: "Physically it was a little hard. But every player likes playing these games. I have to be ready, get some rhythm, return little by little. It was an important day and the coach gave me the chance to play."

Ansu also spoke about his goal: "Oscar crossed, it stated short, I think Frenkie (de Jong) touched it a little and I struck it with everything. The win is dedicated to Kun Aguero for what he's gone through. He contributes a lot and now he's going to be out for a while. The win is for him and I hope he's with us soon."

Aguero will be out for at least three months after his heart was analysed in tests at the weekend after he had an irregular heartbeat during the game against Alaves.
