In a thrilling display of talent, Barcelona midfielder Gavi expressed his excitement seeing Ansu Fati and Hector Fort starting against Real Mallorca. This match marked a significant moment for both players, who had faced a challenging season with limited playtime.
After a nail-biting 1-0 victory secured by a stellar goal from Dani Olmo, Gavi couldn't hide his joy. "Seeing some rotation in the lineup was fantastic, and I’m especially happy for my teammates—Fati and Fort—who are like brothers to me," he shared with the press.
Although Barcelona dominated the game with an astonishing 40 shots, Gavi acknowledged the missed opportunities, pointing out the importance of perseverance in football. "Our goalkeeper, Leo Roman, was phenomenal, but we need to capitalize more on our chances. It’s a hallmark of our sport; scoring isn’t always a given," he noted.
Gavi didn’t hold back praise for his teammate Pedri, calling him one of the best players in his position and highlighting what a privilege it is to play alongside him.
