Gavi struggles for playing time at Barcelona under Hansi Flick

Gavi has had a challenging start to the 2026/27 season at FC Barcelona, featuring in only three matches and totaling 81 minutes of play. Under coach Hansi Flick, the midfielder has seen limited opportunities due to stiff competition from other players in the squad. Despite his lack of playing time and being absent from the Spain squad due to suspension, Flick continues to support Gavi both publicly and privately. The coach emphasizes Gavi’s importance to the team and maintains open communication to keep him motivated. Barcelona has won all eight of their matches this season, scoring 36 goals.
