Barcelona’s midfield sensation, Gavi, has addressed the intense on-pitch encounter with Athletic Bilbao’s Yuri Berchiche during Barca’s 2-0 victory that secured their spot in the Super Cup final.

Reflecting on the incident where Berchiche was seen grabbing him by the neck, Gavi said:
“I really like Yuri as a player. He is very enthusiastic on the pitch. What happened between me and him stays on the pitch. I was lucky enough to score and assist, but the most important thing is that we’re in the final. I am happy!”

The young midfielder, who delivered a standout performance with a goal and an assist, shared his thoughts on his progress since returning from injury:
“I feel better with every match. I was injured for a long time, but that’s in the past.”

Addressing concerns about a possible knock late in the game, Gavi reassured fans:
“An injury at the end of the match? No, no, I was just tired. I’ll be there on Sunday, of course.”

Gavi’s stellar showing against the Basque side proved decisive, as his contributions led the Blaugrana to the Super Cup final. His performance was not only a testament to his skill but also a reminder of his resilience and passion for the game.
