Gavi showed ridiculous levels of composure with cheeky skill in his own box for Spain

Gavi is an absolute baller. Pass it on.

It’s staggering to think that the Barcelona prodigy is still only 17 years old because it already feels as though he’s been spreading his magic around Spain for months upon months.

Ever since the pipeline of La Masia greats like Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Lionel Messi started drying up in the early 2010s, the Blaugrana have been waiting for a player like Gavi to come along.

It remains to be seen whether he’ll ever reach the heights of the Barca legends that we’ve just named, but there’s no denying that he’s got all the ability required to become a world-class midfielder.

And one of the clearest indicators of just how much ability Gavi has in his boots is the remarkable amount of faith that Luis Enrique has invested in him as part of the Spanish national team.

The midfield starlet has only actually completed one full season of professional football, but is already bearing down on 10 caps for La Roja despite playing in one of its most competitive positions.

We are, after all, talking about a nation that has Rodri, Thiago Alcantara, Sergio Busquets, Pedri, Koke, Marcos Llorente and Saul Niguez amongst others to call upon in the heart of midfield.

But when Gavi continues to prove himself every time he pulls on the Spain jersey, notching his first goal for his country against the Czech Republic this week, Enrique simply has to keep selecting him.

And the Spain coach was hardly given a reason to change his mind when Gavi was once again picked from the start for a UEFA Nations League clash; this time on the road against Switzerland.

That’s because Barcelona’s ‘next big thing’ yet again showed the type of composure on the ball that you’d expect from a player with five, 10 or 15 years more
