Barcelona are preparing for a decisive match in the La Liga competition this season when they host Valencia in the twenty-first round of the competition.
Barcelona are in third place with 39 points, only on goal difference from Athletic Bilbao, who are in fourth place, and are 7 points behind Real Madrid and 5 points behind Atletico Madrid.
The legend Thierry Henry sparked widespread controversy within Barcelona after his surprising statements following the team’s match against Benfica in the Champions League, which ended in an exciting victory for Barcelona by five goals to four.
In an analysis of the match on the English Sky Sports channels, Henry harshly criticized the young player Gavi, demanding that German coach Hansi Flick exclude him from the starting lineup if he wants to change the team’s shape for the better.
Henry said in his statements: “I do not understand what role Gavi plays on the field, and I cannot see a reason for him to participate continuously in the starting lineup.” These statements came as a shock to Barcelona fans, especially since Gavi is considered one of the most prominent talents in the team in recent years.
Henry, who knows what it takes to excel on the pitch, seems to think that the youngster has not had the desired impact in recent matches, which has prompted him to demand urgent changes to the squad. This analysis highlights the extent of the pressure Gavi is under within Barcelona, especially with the growing expectations regarding his role in the team.
