Barcelona

The event for Gavi's new contract extension will take place on Thursday 15 September at 6pm CEST at Spotify Camp Nou.

As a midfielder he is well versed in Barça's style of play having come through the youth system at La Masia. The coach's faith was repaid as in August of 2021 Gavi made his official first team debut against Getafe in La Liga aged just 17 years and 24 days, the fourth youngest in Barça history. Pablo Páez Gavira was born in the town of Los Palacios y Villafranca near Seville on 5 August, 2004.

After the first 45 minutes, it was a mystery how Barcelona were not in front, with Robert Lewandowski and company feasting on the Bayern back line in his ...

In the rest of defense, it's Jules Kounde on the right plus a center-back pairing of Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen, with Gerard Pique, Eric Garcia, and Jordi Alba all available as substitutes. Benjamin Pavard and Marcel Sabitzer are also back in the lineup as well, while young Jamal Musiala is part of the attack in place of Serge Gnabry. The young midfielder rips a left-footed shot, but the Bayern veteran produces a better save, flicking his leg out against his body's momentum to keep the shot out. The former Bayern man roasts the home defense with brilliant skill to get free, but he pokes a ninja-kick shot over the bar. In the aftermath, Raphinha goes down under a heavy challenge from Davies at the very edge of the penalty area, but it's waved away. 40th min: Bayern wastes a chance as two attackers crash into each other in the penalty area. He's through on goal with only Neuer to beat thanks to a great thread by Lewandowski, and he dinks his effort off the outside of the left post, out for a goal kick. Stunning work by Raphinha to tee up the star striker, but he blows it by taking a touch rather than hitting it first-time, which everyone in the stadium expected him to do. He offers a hand to help Musiala up, and it's snubbed, without even as much as eye contact from the German youngster. This second half has shown a different Bayern team than we've seen the last few weeks: pumped full of adrenaline and ready to slay a giant. Barcelona came into this match in much better form than Bayern, and it felt like Xavi's men were the favorites even on the road to a team that's given them fits over the years. Then halftime came and went, and a different Bayern team emerged from the tunnel, unrecognizable from the one that departed the Allianz Arena field at the break.

Robert Lewandowski's return to Allianz Arena didn't go as planned as Barcelona endured more misery against familiar foe Bayern Munich.

Barcelona took Bayern Munich's star this summer, but the German side continue to torment the Spanish giants with or without Robert Lewandowski.

World-class wingers aren't allowed to be as wasteful as Dembele was because, wow, was he wasteful. Lewandowski was all smiles before the match, greeting his former team-mates in the tunnel. With the game still scoreless after a strong Barcelona first half, Alonso completely turned off for a set piece.

Barcelona had a thorough clear out this summer, reducing their squad size and selling off a number of role players at Camp Nou.

In 10 league and Champions League appearances, [Jutgla](https://www.football-espana.net/tag/ferran-jutgla) has 6 goals and 4 assists. The Belgian champions have a 100% record so far and if Jutgla can continue his current form, he will be handful for a shaky Colchonero defence. The Catalan forward arrived at Barcelona Atletic last summer from Espanyol B and made an impact there, scoring 19 goals and assisting 6 times in 32 Primera RFEF appearances.

Pep Guardiola is a man of absolute respect, and that much was easy to see during the contract talks between Barcelona and Gavi over a new deal.
