Saturday was a euphoric day for Barcelona when they won the Copa del Rey for the 32nd time with a 3-2 victory over Real Madrid after extra time. In front of Hansi Flick, it could be the start of a historic Treble, but for now it is a great moment that for the third time this season it has seen them get one on their bitter rivals.
The match in La Cartuja was one true emotions ran very high, with three Real Madrid players sent in the dying phases by referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea. And after the full -time whistle was blown, there was more frustration and annoyance for another Los Blancos star.
TV cameras took the moment that the Copa del Rey -final was terminated, and Gavi was specifically caught on the camera fourth in the Real Madrid -defender Raul Asencio.
The fan images recorded by Diario show that Asencio responded to Gavi's antics before they have to be stopped by the Real Madrid teammate Endrick Felipe. It is not known whether this was something that was the target of Barcelona's midfielder, or if he chose Asencio because he was close to his possible future Spain teammate.
It was not the only collision that Gavi had during/after the Copa del Rey, because he also celebrated Jude Bellingham during the procedure in La Cartuja.
As a very big proponent of the club, it is no surprise that Gavi is always fired for matches against Real Madrid. He has always been the case during El Clasico games, and it will probably remain the case for many years, since there is little chance that he would leave Barcelona, even despite the fact that he has had trouble playing playing time in recent months.
