Gavi experienced a moment of enormous emotional charge upon learning of his call-up for the World Cup, in a scene that was recorded by his teammate Lamine Yamal at the FC Barcelona sports city. The footballer could not contain his tears and ended up hugging the physiotherapists who have accompanied his recovery.

The midfielder has worked throughout the year to return after a serious knee injury, a long process that has culminated in his progressive return to competition since last March 15. His evolution has been key to convincing Luis de la Fuente, who has finally included his name in the definitive list.
In the Barça dressing room, the player's effort and constancy stand out, who this season has played 13 official matches and just over 700 minutes. Despite this, his competitive character and his importance in the group have weighed in his return to the national team.
FC Barcelona, with Hansi Flick at the helm, has closely followed his recovery to ensure his readiness for the great international event, in a scene that is already circulating on social media thanks to the video captured by Lamine Yamal.
🎙️ "Lamine's video with Gavi's reaction demonstrates the human quality that this group of players has."
