Pablo Gavira ‘Gavi’ (20 years) This is one of those pearls Barça was on the roster but now has a more secondary role after nearly a year injured. After arriving in 2015 from the quarry of Real Betis At only 10 years old, he showed his talent in Farmhouse and in the 2020-21 season he rose to the first team and finished as a starter under the orders of Ronald Koeman. It’s included Xavi took the reins of the team, his performances were key to achieving the League in 2023 and his progress continued to increase until he was completely affected by the ‘FIFA virus’.
A party of selection in spanish qualified for Euro 2024 in the view of Georgia which, a priori does not involve risk, has become a curse Gavi when he injured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, which kept him out of shorts for 355 days.
Bad luck is not only in the damage, but the arrival of Hansi Flick on the bench meant the German could not line up for him until five months after arriving at the club in June and now Gavi does not have complete confidence to return to a starting position. Of course, the youth squad has shown in recent years a style of play and an intensity that suits what the culé team needs.
In Peter and Marc Casado at stellar levels, a hypothetical departure from Frenkie de Jong will greatly benefit Gavi as one of the biggest capabilities it currently has, and if Dani Olmo ultimately not registered, he will have opportunities to occupy the midfield position, a position where he knows how to perform well and where he even played as a starter against Atlético de Madrid on December 21. Since his return, he has started only three of the 13 games in which he has been available, with the misfortune of being two losses (1-2 against The Palms and 1-2 matches Athletic) and a draw (2-2 in Vigo against Celtic).
Gavi could have the possibility to start 2025 on the right foot with a start in the cup duel against Barbastro this Saturday (7:00 pm/Movistar+), and although the level of rivalry is not high, it could be a good start to 2025 for the Sevillian as he has the possibility to show his full recovery and he can count more for Flick.
