Gavi Highlights Barcelona’s Early Efficiency

Coming on late in the game, Gavi praised the squad's relentless work ethic and sharp finishing. The 22-year-old emphasized how scoring early goals has turned Barcelona into a dominant force.

“The truth is, we’re doing very well. We score goals very quickly, and if we get two or three chances, they go in. Maintaining this rhythm is what’s important because the season is very long,” Gavi said.

Reflecting on His Injury Journey

The La Masia graduate shared his relief and pride at overcoming serious knee injuries that kept him sidelined. Despite those challenges, he has been trusted to play in crucial matches under the current coach.

“These past few years have been difficult for me because I’ve had some very serious injuries. Not everyone comes back to playing at this level like I have. It’s very difficult when you have knee injuries, but I’ve played important matches with the manager,” Gavi explained.

Barcelona Eyes Set on Sustaining Momentum

With Gavi back, Barcelona looks to maintain their unbeaten run and extend their lead atop La Liga. The midfield depth he provides will be key as they face a packed fixture schedule. The team remains focused on pushing for trophies on all fronts.
