"Carles has the nose for more goals and strikes the ball really nicely. Ansu is a born scorer and although he's had some niggling pain, we wanted him to have some minutes.

"That it's a Barça lad who's the youngest ever scorer in this competition delights us.

"We're thrilled because Inter are a really demanding rival. We played to win and my players, many of whom were making a debut of some kind, responded by showing competitive mettle."

Fati combined with fellow substitute Luis Suarez before drilling the ball home with a superb strike.

"I played the give and go with Luis and when I scored the stadium just went silent. I'm super-happy!" Fati said.

"It's a dream. Everything seems to be going at high speed. I just have to take every opportunity I'm given. But here, you look around and think: 'what have I done'?"

Defeat means Inter have failed to qualify for the round of 16 while Barcelona progress as group winners.

"Watching that Ansu Fati goal is painful, as it killed us in every way. We were pushing, creating the chances to score and go 2-1 up," Inter boss Antonio Conte said.

"I was also disappointed for the fans at San Siro, as they pushed us from start to finish and created a wonderful atmosphere. It should've ended differently.

"I think we deserved more in this group. Still I think it's all valuable experience. We have to raise our heads again."
