What could be better than having last year’s Golden Boy winner in your midfield? There’s this year’s winner to pair with him. It is a luxury that FC Barcelona and Spain share when Gavi has won the award.
Now, Gavi will enter his first World Cup with the expectation of becoming that Golden Boy and recreating the success of the famous midfield duo Xavi and Iniesta with Pedri.
Whether he can actually make it this year, but you can bet he’ll give it his all.
