Gavi the ‘happiest kid in the world’ after Barcelona debut

Barcelona teenager Gavi could not hide his delight after making his La Liga debut for the Catalan giants in Sunday’s win over Getafe at the Camp Nou.

Gavi replaced Sergi Roberto on 74 minutes and enjoyed a bright cameo for Ronald Koeman’s men in midfield.

The youngster, who only turned 17 at the start of the month, spoke after the game and admitted it was a dream to play for the club.

“Right now I am the happiest kid in the world, since I was little I had that dream of making my debut in La Liga at the Camp Nou and today I have been able to achieve it.
