Gavi and Lamine Yamal both scored goals as FC Barcelona defeated Athletic Club 2-0 in a hard-fought match in the Spanish Super Cup semifinals Sunday night. The club is now awaiting a final matchup with either Real Madrid or Mallorca. Gavi started as number 10 in Flick's potent starting lineup against the Basque team. This meant that Frenkie de Jong had to make an impression off the bench to maintain his position because he was once again benched.

In the second half, the German coach did substitute Frenkie for Gavi, moving him into the number 10 position. He nearly instantly set up his team for a goal, but he quickly made a mistake from which he was extremely fortunate to escape unharmed. According to Fichajes, Hansi Flick has now decided to let the Dutchman go since he has had enough of him.
