Flick hails Gavi for great gesture towards Barcelona teammate in Valencia win – ‘I love him’

Barcelona’s emphatic 7-1 victory over Valencia on Sunday night brought many positives for the team, marking their return to winning ways in La Liga and delivering one of their best performances of the season.

Fermin Lopez stole the show after getting a rare opportunity in the starting XI while the team did not miss a step despite the absence of key players like Pedri, Gavi, and Robert Lewandowski in the lineup.

Flick waxes lyrical on Gavi
However, it was a particular moment during the match that caught the attention of manager Hansi Flick, who highlighted it in his post-match press conference.

With the game already done and dusted, the Barcelona head coach intended to bring on Gavi for the final minutes, but the La Masia product requested that Pablo Torre be sent on in his place.

“The situation that impressed me the most was when I spoke with Gavi. I wanted to put him on for the last 15 minutes, and he told me no, that I should put Pablo Torre in instead. That is incredible, it is fantastic,” said Flick, as quoted by Mundo Deportivo.
