Gavi, Joan Garcia react after Barcelona 1-0 Celta Vigo: ‘We want to win the title as quickly as possible’ Barcelona’s narrow 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo may not have been their most convincing performance, but it could prove decisive in the La Liga title race. While the spotlight has largely been on injuries and late drama, Gavi offered an honest insight into the tactical challenges faced during the match, particularly regarding his unusual role on the pitch. Deployed as a false winger on the left, the young midfielder admitted that adapting to the position was not straightforward, especially against a compact defensive setup.
He explained how the team had to adjust to Celta’s structure and why the role felt demanding on the night. “I do what the manager asks of me. I’m a player who can play in various positions, and I believe that’s very important for a footballer in the team.
“Perhaps it was more difficult today, because Celta were also defending with a back five, but ultimately I’m at the disposal of the team and the manager. “Sometimes there will be easier games, and others more difficult, but the most important thing is to win, and that’s exactly what we did,” he said. Crucial win in the title race Despite the tactical discomfort, the result keeps Barcelona firmly in control of the title race, holding a significant advantage over Real Madrid with only a handful of matches remaining.
Gavi made it clear that the squad’s focus is now on finishing the job as quickly as possible. “What we want is to win the title as quickly as possible. Whether it’s against Real Madrid or before that.
I hope it’s soon. “This victory was extremely important. It was crucial for winning the title because the league isn’t decided yet.
