Barcelona boss Xavi was full of praise for 17-year-old midfielder Gavi after Saturday’s 3-2 win over Elche at the Camp Nou in La Liga.
Gavi was the man of the match for the hosts and scored his first goal for the club with a brilliant solo effort to put Barca two up after Ferran Jutgla had made it 1-0.
The teenager then teed up Nico Gonzalez for the winner late on in a performance that certainly impressed by his manager.
“What’s surprising is his age, he’s 17 and look how he competes. Today he made the difference with a goal and an assist,” he said.
