It’s Gavi’s first appearance since August and comes after another long spell on the sidelines due to another knee injury.
Gavi spoke to the media afterwards and revealed just how tough it’s been to be sidelined again. “It’s been very tough, to be honest. Much tougher than last time.
I’ve had a really hard time. The process has been more painful and it’s been harder day to day. The feeling today at Camp Nou is unique.
I’m very happy,” he said. “Flick has always been there for me, like a father. He’s always supported me.
