Barcelona midfielder Gavi is set to represent Spain at the upcoming World Cup, and his emotional reaction has been widely shared online.
A viral video on social media platform X, recorded by fellow Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal, captures the moment 21-year-old Gavi learned he had been called up to La Roja’s final squad. This comes after the midfielder’s lengthy recovery from a meniscus injury that had sidelined him for nearly half the season.
In the video, Gavi cannot contain his excitement as he jumps and shouts with joy upon seeing his name on the squad list. Yamal, who will also be attending the World Cup, documented this heartfelt moment.
Spain has been placed in Group H for the tournament, where they will face teams from Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia, and Uruguay.
