Gavi: The future for Spain and Barcelona

Can you remember what you were doing at 17 years and 56 days old?

Chances are you weren’t getting ready to become potentially the youngest ever debutant for your country’s football team.

That’s exactly what could be ahead for Pablo Martin Paez Gavira, the player we all know as Gavi.

Still, technically, a second-year youth player at Barcelona, Ronald Koeman has entrusted him to form part of the first-team squad in 2021/22, and he’s already seen action in four La Liga matches and both Champions League encounters.

Whilst many culers still harp on about Riqui Puig’s merits and otherwise, Gavi has usurped his contemporary and taken his chance with both hands.
