Unprecedented combativeness! Midfielder Gavi performed a viral head slide that impressed even the legendary Carlos Puyol

Barcelona took a step towards the title yesterday with a win at San Mamés. Midfielder Gavi made an unprecedented header in the match, which became a hit on social media.

Barcelona passed a tough test and went on to win the La Liga title. It now has a nine-point lead over the relegation-chasing Real Madrid in the top Spanish football league.

Yesterday’s match at San Mamés was a key game for Barcelona in the fight for the Spanish La Liga title. Despite floundering in recent weeks, Athletic Bilbao defied the Catalan favourite,

Barcelona managed to win the difficult match at the Basque stadium and take the all-important three points. The only goal of the game was scored by Brazilian Raphinha, who took advantage of a pinpoint pass from veteran Busquets at the end of the half.

Although the Basques equalised late in the game thanks to a goal from Iñaki Williams, the referees disallowed the goal with the help of VAR after an Iker Munain handball.

It must be added that Barcelona players were also a bit lucky when veteran Raúl Garcia hit the crossbar in the first half. But especially the dedication of the players of the first team of La Liga played a big role that night.

In the 23rd minute of the match, the spectators witnessed an unprecedented moment, when 18-year-old midfielder Gavi made an incredible header that immediately went viral on social media.

Even former club legend Carles Puyol was impressed by the heart of the Catalan team’s huge hope.

The latter was characterised by a similar combativeness to the limit of his own health. Puyol applauded the young midfielder on his Twitter account.

It was far from the first time that Gavi was not afraid to head into a life-threatening situation. In the match against Sevilla, he also did not hesitate to risk his health for his beloved club.

Gavi is thus growing into a cornerstone of the Catalan big club. Next week, he will face another El Clásico in which he will try to put another nail in the coffin of the White Ballet in La Liga.
