Gavi has once again been key with Spain, this time to seal qualification for the 2024 Euro Cup. The midfielder is already making history with the national team at the same pace that he demonstrates at FC Barcelona
It is impossible to do without Gavi. It knows it very well Xavi Hernández and is learning it Luis de la Fuente in the 'beginning' of his stage like seleccionador Spanish. It is a player that desborda passion and commitment. That it does not give a balloon neither duel by stray. That visits the field to pleasure in instants. That it does not surrender and that appears when more needs him . A 'veteran' of the football although is 19 years old and all a career by in front.
This Sunday has been the culprit that The Red certified his classification to the Eurocopa of the next summer, in Germany, with a goal that was reviewed by almost five minutes but that already is history of the Spanish football. After a series of rebounds and doubts by the position of Gavi and Álvaro Morata, from the VAR validated the target that represents a new participation in the maximum continental tournament, once again.
Gavi cuela In the history
It supposed the split number 25 of Gavi with Spain. To put it in context, with 19 years and 67 days already has 'surpassed' to what in his day had done Sergio Bouquets, for example, that to the same age of the midfield player of the FC Barcelona only had accumulated three internacionalidades. Xavi Hernández, Andrés Iniesta and Sergio Busquets not even had debuted to this age. To understand the scope of what is attaining.
The one of The Palaces and Villafranca has turned into the youngest player in achieving the 25 internacionalidades with Spain and already adds five goals. Being midfield player and so young. The impetus, passion and quality have carried him to be a differential footballer and that marks the difference with very, very little. Like this it showed it against Norway in a party in which it was not being very leading, but appeared in the moment and place indicated to make history.
Indisputable headline for Barça and Spain
It will be necessary to see which is the ceiling of Gavi, if it is that has any. It is a player that is in full development but that already has showed his cost, quality and proof. In the FC Barcelona began to be headline in this season after Pedri González lesionara, but now will result impossible that remove him of the initial alignment. It will benefit , without place to doubts, of his capacity to multiply and the polivalencia that have characterised him since it burst into in the first team, does more than two years.
