Gavi reveals what Ansu Fati told him after he beat his Spain record

Barcelona’s 17-year-old midfielder Gavi made history on Sunday night when he scored his first international goal in a 2-2 draw with the Czech Republic.

Gavi is the youngest player ever to score for Spain, at the age of 17 years and 304 days, beating the record previously held by Barcelona team-mate Ansu Fati (who scored at the age of 17 years and 311 days).

The midfielder has now been talking about his achievement and revealed what Ansu Fati said to him after the game.

“He told me that he is glad that I beat him when there were only eight days left to do it,” said Gavi before adding, “I dedicate it to my family, the coach, the staff and all those who have trusted me.
