Barcelona midfielder Gavi once again showed his anger in the last El Clasico encounter when facing two Real Madrid stars.
It has been a strange season for Gavi, who was named the best young player in the world, when he was announced as a Kopa Trophy winner in October.
While so highly regarded, he also has to battle the strangest contract issues, through no fault of his own, and it's unknown if he's even a Barcelona first-team player. .
With the latest decision not to let him be relegated, Elche even called on the Spanish Football Federation to strip Xavi of points because he thought the midfielder was not qualified to play with them.
This perhaps explains why, on the pitch, the extremely talented 18-year-old seems to grow angrier with each passing week. In the recent El Clasico in La Liga, the teenager knocked out Spanish midfielder Dani Ceballos, just before the duo teamed up on the international break.
The youngster returned to action on Wednesday night, in his final match against rivals Barca in the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg.
The midfielder can be seen grabbing Real's Rodrygo by the neck and then pushing him away as the two scrambled for the ball.
The Spain international did avoid a yellow card after the situation, but that doesn't mean he played the whole game without warning.
Typically, the former Real Betis youth academy player also found himself in a constant battle with another Brazilian striker. There were a few incidents with Vinicius Jr, where Gavi seemed to go against his opponents, who were trying to hold off Ronald Araujo.
Dissatisfied with the collision, Vinicius then got up and attempted to get the ball from the center of the field, before a bit of contention resulted in both being shown yellow cards.
You can guess from the caption that it was posted by a Barcelona fan, but don't pretend that Gavi didn't play a major role in the incident.
This took place shortly before half-time, the two men were seen chatting and trying to calm down as they made their way to their dressing rooms before half-time was over.

Real Madrid punches goals in the most important moment of the season. The Whites' resignation from the League caught the attention of Charles Ancelotti, who was criticized from the outset for abandoning the League and failing to manage the team well.

Carlo, like at Anfield, has returned to betting on an 11-man squad with three strikers (Rodrygo, Vinicius and Benzema), and the team has returned to show its strongest side by scoring four goals at Camp Nou, in the five goals they have marked. in Liverpool.
Ancelotti continues to cling to conquering the Champions League and the National Cup, two titles that will no longer question whether he will sit on the bench of Real Madrid next season or not.

Rodrygo warned him in the mixed zone at the Barcelona stadium:
“This win gives us a lot of confidence. It changed our season a lot because we felt a bit bad, but now we are in the Cup final and we are still alive in the Champions League. Now we will use the league games to prepare for the most important matches, which are the other games." Rodrygo:
"We are Real Madrid"
The Brazilian player also talked about the significance of the 0-4 defeat to Barca. “Having sex here is always special. For us, it's a luxury to have Ancelotti as coach. We lost three classic games, but we won this one and the others don't matter anymore. We are in the finals. The response is easy to explain:
We are Real Madrid.”
For Valverde, "it's a good result, but it's important to qualify at all costs, even if it's bad. What happened was we played well and turned the spaces into goals. The match was quite similar to the one against Liverpool in the Champions League. We stay calm, we know that we have to be patient in defense and then attack and protect the space.” The Uruguayan is upbeat for the home phase of the season:
“We are in the final and now is the time to try to win. And we also have the Champions League.
Tough road for Courtois
Excitement was the common denominator of the white expedition, of which even Thibaut Courtois claimed to feel "very proud to have made it to the final. The road is tough:
Villarreal away from home, Atlético, Barça had to go back to Camp Nou… But we were there, in the final. This is my first national cup final against Real Madrid and I am very happy with it. His teammate, Dani Carvajal also highly appreciated the victory:
“We know we are here to win and it is possible. We believed and we made it to the final better and fairer.” Even the always sober Emilio Butragueño hinted at a bit of euphoria for the historic results at Camp Nou:
