Impact Gavi netted the first Champions League goal of his career, as he fired a shot from the center of the box to the top left corner of the goal, after receiving the assist from Robert Lewandowski. Gavi was then subbed out minutes later and was allowed to enjoy the rest of the match from the sidelines. Not typically a big scorer, it was a welcome sight for his teammates to see him net such a beautiful goal, after he also did his job in the midfield with 73 completed passes in the match.

Impact Gavi scored the opening goal of the match and his first goal of the season Saturday as he scored a header in the 12th minute off a Lamine Yamal corner. It was the only shot he took in the match to go with two won tackles and one interception in his full 90 minutes of action.

Plays second half in season finale Gavi subbed into Sunday's match against Celta Vigo at halftime, winning one of one tackles in the 2-1 defeat.

Impact Gavi scored two goals with four assists in 36 La Liga appearances (30 starts) during his second season in senior football, splitting time between midfield and the left wing as he won his first league title. The 18-year-old also scored a goal for Spain at the 2022 World Cup and will enter the next campaign as a nailed-on starter for Barcelona.

Scores, assists Gavi scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 victory over Mallorca.

Impact Gavi contributed to two of the three goals Sunday to help give the team the win. He's started in every match played since Dec 31, totaling two goals and three assists in that span.

MAY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in return Gavi generated one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-1 defeat to Valladolid.

Impact Gavi did not do much Tuesday after serving a one-match ban against Real Sociedad (yellow card accumulation). He's recorded an assist with 14 tackles (10 won) and seven crosses (two won) in the last 11 games.

MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returning from suspension Gavi will be eligible to feature in Tuesday's clash against Real Valladolid after serving a one-game suspension.

Impact Gavi missed Saturday's loss to Real Sociedad while suspended for yellow card accumulation, but he should return to the squad to take on Valladolid in midweek, having started 28 of Barcelona's 35 Liga games this season.

MAY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Banned for accumulation Gavi was handed a yellow card against Espanyol on Sunday and will be suspended versus Real Sociedad on Saturday.

Impact Gavi has gone three straight matches without registering a shot and hasn't scored since Feb. 5 versus Sevilla, a stretch of 14 matches without a goal. The midfielder doesn't generate a ton of stats in either the offensive or defensive ends of the pitch, so his absence may not impact the majority of fantasy players. Without Gavi in the squad, Ferran Torres could break into the starting XI on Sunday.

MAY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Espanyol Gavi (undisclosed) is in Barcelona's starting XI for Sunday's derby clash against Espanyol.

MAY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off injured against Osasuna Gavi was subbed out of Tuesday's match against Osasuna in the 36th minute after suffering an apparent injury.

Impact Barcelona had just returned to just about full fitness with the recent returns of Ousmane Dembele (quadriceps), Pedri (thigh) and Frenkie de Jong (hamstring), so Gavi will hope the issue he picked up Tuesday won't be too serious. Ansu Fati came in for him on the left wing against Osasuna.

Logs assist in win over Elche Gavi provided an assist, created four chances, made one tackle and three clearances, drew four fouls and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 4-0 win over Elche.

Impact Gavi had another start as a midfielder with Pedri (thigh) still out and his dynamic play was once again one of the biggest reasons why Barcelona left the pitch with the three points. His assist for Robert Lerwandowski to make it 3-0 midway through the second half was the third of the season and, regardless of his positioning, Gavi's strong and consistent play will remain a difference maker and it will eventually start translating into huge fantasy numbers.

Impact Gavi was handed the one-match ban following his fifth yellow card of the season, but is now set to return. The midfielder has started all over the pitch and truly works as the heart of the team. When fully fit and available Gavi is a guaranteed starter in some capacity.

FEBRUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes two shots in loss Gavi made two clearances, an interception and took two shots in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Almeria.

Impact Gavi was back in Barcelona's XI on the left wing against Almeria but he couldn't find a way to salvage a result on Saturday. Barcelona's lead atop La Liga still sits at seven points, but Gavi will want to make sure his team doesn't slip up again.
