Barcelona manager, Xavi has come out to urge the club to keep Gavi at the Catalan club. This is coming amid reported interest from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Gavi has to remain at the club because he is definitely one of the best candidates to be named club captain in the nearest future.
Xavi added that there will surely be departures this summer, but Gavi has to be the future of Barca.
His words, “Gavi must stay, he has to be one of the captains of the team in the future. We are always talking about departures, but Gavi has to be the future of Barca.”
On Mbappe, “I don’t have much to say. What has become official is that Mbappe is leaving PSG, but our situation is different. We have to finish the season well, we have the Champions League tie. I can’t answer you.
Don’t ask me any more questions about Mbappe, please. I don’t think I should speak about him.”
WOW.
Futbol Club Barcelona, commonly referred to as Barcelona and colloquially known as Barça, is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.
Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona.
There is often a fierce rivalry between the two strongest teams in a national league, and this is particularly the case in La Liga, where the game between Barcelona and Real Madrid is known as “The Classic” (El Clásico).
From the start of national competitions the clubs were seen as representatives of two rival regions in Spain: Catalonia and Castile, as well as of the two cities. The rivalry reflects what many regard as the political and cultural tensions felt between Catalans and the Castilians, seen by one author as a re-enactment of the Spanish Civil War. Over the years, the head-to-head record between the two clubs is 102 victories for Madrid, 100 victories for Barcelona, and 52 draws.
