According to "Varzesh 3", 22-year-old Gavi knows better than anyone what it is like to endure the recovery period after a serious injury. The Barcelona midfielder has twice had to overcome the hardships of missing a full season of action. On the eve of El Clásico, Gavi used the opportunity of his interview with DAZN and Radio Monte Carlo to send a message of support to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the Paris Saint-Germain winger who was injured last Tuesday in the match against Barcelona and, following a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, will miss the rest of the season.

In an interview with DAZN, he stated: "I really like Kvaratskhelia as a player and I have always admired him. I send him my best wishes during this injury period. Going through such a situation is not easy, but I am sure he will come back stronger."

Predicting the next Ballon d'Or winner, the Barcelona player leans more towards his teammate Lamine Yamal, but believes the Georgian winger also deserves to be among the top nominees. He said: "In my opinion, Kvaratskhelia should be among the top five for the Ballon d'Or because he had a fantastic season. I would be happy if he is among the nominees, but I hope Lamine wins because he is the best."

Regarding Ousmane Dembélé, Gavi said: "Ousmane is my brother and I have a very good relationship with him. He has already won the Ballon d'Or and I was very happy for him because he is someone who has always deserved it and I have always trusted him. However, I hope Lamine wins this year, whom I also consider my brother."
