Barcelona’s star midfielder Pablo Gavi has expressed his excitement following his long-awaited return to the football pitch after nearly a year on the sidelines.
The 20-year-old prodigy had been out of action due to an ACL injury he sustained while playing for Spain in the 2024 Euro qualifiers. After 335 days of recovery, Gavi made his triumphant comeback during Barcelona’s 5-1 win over Sevilla on Sunday.
Speaking to Movistar after the match, Gavi shared his emotions about his return, admitting it was a moment he had been eagerly awaiting for months. “I’m incredibly happy to be back after such a long time. I’ve been dreaming of this day for so many months,” he said.
Gavi also opened up about the difficulty of watching his team from the sidelines, expressing the frustration he felt being unable to support his teammates on the field. “The hardest part has been not being with the team. Watching games from the outside became really tough,” he explained.
His return is a massive boost for Barcelona, who have missed his presence in midfield. Gavi’s combination of creativity, vision, and tireless work ethic makes him an essential part of the squad led by head coach Hansi Flick.
Now back in action, Gavi’s return brings renewed energy to Barcelona’s pursuit of domestic and international glory. His determination to make an impact after such a lengthy absence will undoubtedly motivate him to perform at his best, giving the team a significant lift as they chase their title ambitions.
