Gavi Speaks Out: Barcelona Midfielder Defends Teammate in Instagram Feud

If there’s one thing that defines Gavi, it’s his unwillingness to hold back, both on and off the field. The Andalusian midfielder, dearly missed by Xavi and the squad, took center stage on Monday due to a comment on Instagram.

Recently, Xavi Hernández stated that Gavi’s recovery is progressing “by the book.” He is following the expected timeline and is even ahead of schedule after suffering a cruciate ligament injury with external meniscus involvement.

The ‘Tiempo de Juego’ program on Cadena Cope, on its Instagram account, shared a video of its presenter, Paco González, discussing Pau Cubarsí and criticizing an incident in which he believes the young player simulated contact. It involved a hypothetical stamp by Granada goalkeeper Batalla.

Gavi, from his own Instagram account, directly responded to the journalist with the following message: “You are pathetic, wake up Paco.” Gavi did not hesitate to come to the defense of his 17-year-old teammate, whose impact has been one of the major highlights of the current season.
