Barcelona: Gavi’s incredible stats from Clasico to Real
Gavi only played 19 minutes plus the delays in the Clásico, but in that time the 17-year-old managed to do something the Real players couldn’t do in 90 minutes.
Barcelona triumphed against Real on all levels in the Clásico of the “Santiago Bernabeu” and it’s not just the amount of points (4-0) but the overall picture of the two teams from the first to the last minute.
The stat that captures just that involves Gavi, the 17-year-old ‘Blaugrana’ prodigy, who came on in the 71st minute at a time when the visitors are theoretically resting on their laurels and the hosts are seeking atonement would with some goals.
After the game’s final whistle, the Spain international won five duels in 19 minutes plus delays, more than any other Real player, even those who played the whole derby!
