FC Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick revealed a touching gesture Gavi made during Sunday's brutal 7-1, La Liga thrashing of Valencia.

The Andalusian midfielder from Los Palacios has consistently impressed in Barcelona's colours, now in his fourth season with the first team where he has played over 130 matches. His maturity on the pitch was once again highlighted in the 21st round of La Liga against Valencia.

Tests revealed a strain to the player’s right calf muscle, which will keep him out of action for the next few days. Barça’s medical staff have not indicated how long Olmo will be out for but confirmed that he will sit out Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Benfica - the penultimate game of the group phase.

Previous manager Xavi wanted a big name in the position, but the closest he got was bringing a then 32-year-old Ilkay Gundogan in from Manchester City in the summer of 2023. Gundogan ended up starting 33 La Liga matches and nine Champions League games for Barca in 2023-24.

Much of the conversation about what Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has changed since he arrived at the club has centred around their style of football and the improvement of a number of their players.
