‘We are going to miss him a lot‘ — Gavi bids emotional goodbye to Lewandowski after final home game vs Real Betis | OneFootball

FC Barcelona gained another full three points in their last home La Liga game, against Real Betis, which was a special match for more than one reason. For starters, a win in this game meant that the Catalans have kept a 100% win record in home games this season.

Meanwhile, this game also served as the farewell of Robert Lewandowski from Spotify Camp Nou, as the Polish striker has already announced his departure at the end of the season. As a result, the Pole was one of the main points of attention on the night.

As Mundo Deportivo has noted, the midfielder Gavi was one of the players who talked to the media after the match, and took this opportunity to express his emotions on Lewandowski’s departure:

“We are going to miss him a lot. He is one of the best forwards in history. I always wish him the best. He always helped me with advice. He is a football legend. I always listened to him because he is an incredible player. It’s a shame that he is leaving.”

The midfielder also highlighted how the Pole takes exceptional care of himself:

“He took care of himself and was in very good shape… Not every player can be like that at 37. Lewandowski, even though he came at the end of his career, gave us many titles, with many goals from him. We have to be eternally grateful.”

Meanwhile, the Spaniard also expressed his happiness at gaining the coach’s trust and thanked Flick for giving him opportunities to play:

“The coach trusts me a lot, and I’ve repaid that trust. I’ve been at a good level in this final stretch of the season, and I’ve shown him that. Happy and proud that the coach has trusted me like this.”

Despite the significant age difference between them, Robert Lewandowski and Gavi have had quite a good relationship at Barcelona, and there is no doubt that the Pole would be missed by the team a lot going forward.
