Pablo Gavi has been a key player at Barcelona since he broke into the first team in the 2021-22 season. His grit, intensity, and physical presence made him an essential player in the Blaugrana system. However, this season has been a challenge for the young midfielder, as he has seen his prominence reduced under the guidance of Hansi Flick.
After overcoming an injury, Gavi returned to the team aiming to reclaim his indisputable status. In December, he seemed to have secured his place in the starting lineup once again, but in recent weeks, his role has significantly changed. Pedri and Frenkie de Jong have become pillars in midfield, and the coach's search for a more offensive profile has affected the youngster.
Confidence in Him, Yet His Role at Barcelona Has Diminished
Recent lineups have highlighted this shift in trend. In the latest matches, Gavi has been benched on several occasions and, when he has played, he has been substituted before the end of the game. Additionally, his combative style has led him to receive cards frequently, a trait that Flick aims to control to optimize his performance.
Barcelona still believes in Gavi in the long term, but the emergence of young talents like Casadó, coupled with the return of other key players, has placed the Spanish international in a more challenging position than expected. With Dani Olmo also competing for a spot in midfield, Gavi will need to fight to regain his place and demonstrate that he remains a crucial asset for the team in crucial moments of the season.
