FC Barcelona meets FC Porto in the Champions League this Wednesday evening after their big victory at home for their entry into the most prestigious European competitions against Antwerp (5-0). Before facing the Portuguese, Gavi, who has become a fixture in the midfield of the Catalan club, gave a long interview to our Spanish colleagues from La Vanguardia. A great opportunity to look back on several aspects of his game but also on the players idolized by the young midfielder.
Asked about the players who inspire him, the 19-year-old notably gave the names of three players. If we find one of the most iconic midfielders of the modern era of FC Barcelona, Gavi also cited two other names including a former Paris Saint-Germain player and a former Real Madrid player. “Above all Iniesta, but also Isco and Verratti”, in fact blurted out the main person concerned. A statement that should please Marco Verratti as the latter left PSG during the last summer transfer window.
