Barcelona Dominates Racing Santander with 7-2 Win as Gavi Returns from Injury
Gavi, the FC Barcelona midfielder, spoke candidly after making his comeback in a commanding 7-2 La Liga victory over Racing Santander at Camp Nou. The Spanish international highlighted the team’s sharpness early on, which helped maintain their unbeaten start to the season.
Barcelona’s Ruthless Start to the Season
Gavi returned following a recent injury break as Barcelona stormed past Racing Santander. The match featured a hat-trick by Raphinha, with additional goals from João Cancelo, Gabriel Jesus, Lamine Yamal, and an own goal that sealed the emphatic win amid heavy rain at Camp Nou.
This victory marked a historic achievement for Barcelona, who have won all seven of their opening matches across every competition this season. They sit firmly atop the La Liga standings, boasting six wins from six league games while scoring 33 goals.
Gavi Highlights Barcelona’s Early Efficiency
Coming on during the final moments, Gavi praised the squad’s unyielding work rate and sharp finishing in front of goal. The 22-year-old stressed the importance of keeping up their high tempo throughout the demanding campaign.
“The truth is, we’re doing very well. We score goals very quickly, and if we get two or three chances, they go in. Maintaining this rhythm is what’s important because the season is very long,” he said.
Opening Up About Injury Challenges
The La Masia academy graduate expressed relief and pride at returning to form after battling serious knee injuries over recent years. Despite setbacks early this season, Gavi has continued playing significant roles under the coach’s guidance.
“These past few years have been difficult for me because I’ve had some very serious injuries. Not everyone comes back to playing at this level like I have. It’s very difficult when you have knee injuries, but I’ve played important matches with the manager,” he admitted.
Barcelona Eyes Sustaining Momentum
With the best start in club history, Barcelona is focused on extending its winning streak in upcoming games. Gavi’s return adds valuable depth to the midfield as the team faces a busy schedule.
The squad remains determined to chase more trophies this season, pushing hard on all fronts to continue their impressive run.
