FC Barcelona finally with the “new” six. A young star joins the team

Gavi made his debut for FC Barcelona in the 2021/22 season and has since worn number 30. The young midfielder has become one of the club’s biggest stars and clearly deserves a change to a slightly more prestigious number. An announcement appeared on the club’s social media that the Spaniard would now wear the number six shirt.

Gavi is FC Barcelona’s “new” six. An 18-year-old’s meritorious number

It has long been known that footballers attach importance to the numbers they play with. For some it matters more and for some it matters less, but the fans certainly attach to them. Many fans remember the numbers their favorite players played with years ago and FC Barcelona fans may have a reason to be happy. The new number of Gavi, who is one of the biggest stars in Spanish football, has gone down in the history of the club with great letters.

In the past, the number six on the jersey was worn by, among others José Mari Bakero and Ronald de Boer. However, the most deserving player who played with him is Xavi. The current coach of the Catalan club played as many as 767 matches in its colors, which makes him the player with the most appearances in history. In addition, he scored 85 goals, made 184 assists and won the Champions League four times. After the legend left after the 2014/15 season, number six was worn by Dani Alves, Denis Suarez, Jean-Clair Todibo and Riqui Puig. The last of them in the 2021/22 season. Now the legendary number will be taken over by Gavi.

Interestingly, the duo Gavi – Pedri will now perform with numbers six and eight. In the past, the legendary Xavi and Andres Iniesta played with them. Many experts compare the duo of young midfielders to these two.
