Gavi is one of the FC Barcelona players with the most heart and passion in the current team. The youngster never tires of running around on the pitch and gives his all in all the matches he plays.
It is not only his skills on the ball that make him such a valuable player for Xavi, but his passion and commitment to the team are what set him apart from other talents available in the team.
Barcelona register their biggest win under Xavi
As Mundo Deportivo has noted, this commitment was there to be observed in the last match played by Barcelona, against Real Betis. The match saw Barcelona win by a five-goal margin, which was the biggest win in the Xavi era and was the first time that Barcelona scored this many goals since Xavi’s appointment.
Gavi the first to celebrate every goal
The first goal of the game was scored by Joao Felix, and the first player to hug and congratulate him for the goal was Gavi. Then Lewandowski scored his goal, and once again, Gavi was the first to hug the Pole and celebrate the goal with him.
The third goal was scored by Ferran Torres from a free-kick, and as he ran towards the sideline to celebrate this goal, he also saw Gavi join him before anyone else in the celebrations. The game was already decided with these three goals, but as Raphinha scored the fourth, he also got the first hug from Gavi.
Thus, his celebrations and his game on the pitch show how much Barcelona mean for Gavi. He plays and celebrates the goals as one of the biggest fans of the club, and Xavi also praised this commitment as he termed him as “the heart and soul of the team” after the match.
