Did Gavi cross the line? Barcelona midfielder criticised for flag during Copa del Rey celebrations

Barcelona arrived in a Clasico Slugfest in Sevilla on Saturday evening and set Rivals Real Madrid in extra time thanks to an excellent Jules Kounde winner. While the second half of Los Blancos was, Barcelona managed to compose himself again after the late equalizer of Ferran Torres and was at the top in extra time.

Part of it was due to the bite and the energy of Fermin Lopez, Gavi and Eric Garcia, while Hansi Flick replaced his entire start midfield. In particular, Gavi helped stabilize things for the Blaugrana, and his spicy lead was as present as always. Real Madrid fans were certainly not impressed when Gavi celebrated the last whistle right in front of Raul Asencio's face before he came to his teammates at La Cartuja.

Often a lightning rod for criticism is, Gavi has also been given himself in hot water for a flag he wore during the parties, as reported by Marca. Probably offered by a fan in the stands, Gavi was seen who wore the flag of his face with the slogan 'Gavi of Lead. Antimadridistas'.

The expression evokes the late drug, Lord Pablo Escobar, with the expression 'Plata O Plomo' [silver or lead]Referring to his method to deal with people in the authorities. Escobar and his cartel would try to buy or threaten civil servants and in many cases to perform murders if they did not accept it. Escobar and his violent cartel terrorized the Colombian public for a number of years.

Although it is in joke and it is unlikely that it causes a real violation in Spain, it can be well rejected in Colombia. It is worth remembering that Antonio Rudiger from Real Madrid received a fine from UEFA for making a 'murderous' gesture to Atletico Madrid fans in the aftermath of their Champions League round of 16 Clash. So far it seems that GAVI will not experience any action that goes beyond the criticism of the media, something he has made clear that he does not give too much.
