Gavi opened the scoring just seven minutes into Barcelona’s clash with Real Betis at Montjuïc.
Rather than bursting into celebration, the young midfielder calmly raised his arms—an understated gesture that spoke volumes.

His subdued celebration was a quiet nod of respect to the club that helped shape his early football journey.
