Elche’s complaint about Barcelona midfielder Gavi is dismissed

Elche’s complaint about Gavi’s eligibility in Barcelona’s recent 4-0 win over the division’s bottom side has been official dismissed by the RFEF’s Competition Committee.

The club had, for reasons best known to themselves, decided to file a complaint claiming Gavi was ineligible for the game after his first-team registration was cancelled.

Gavi played 68 minutes of the win, picking up an assist, as Barca cruised to victory at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero.

After the match, Elche decided they were unhappy with the teenager’s situation and felt he shouldn’t have featured because of his contract situation.
