Barcelona star Gavi has taken the rivalry between the two Spanish giants to a new level. The midfielder criticized the club's handling of a physical altercation between Real Madrid players Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde. Gavi believes the 'Royal Club' made a disciplinary error. This is reported by Goal.com reports .
In an interview with Mundo Deportivo, Gavi addressed internal conflicts in the corridors of the Bernabeu. According to reports, a dispute between Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde escalated into a physical fight, resulting in Valverde requiring stitches at a hospital. Gavi emphasized that the coach should have taken stricter measures in such a situation.
"Competition and minor misunderstandings in training are normal during the heat of the season and show competitiveness. But if it goes as far as a fistfight, the coach should not play such a player. If they really fought, it was a mistake for Aurelien Tchouameni to be included in the squad and fielded," said Gavi.
Gavi also responded to comments made by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez regarding the Negreira case. Perez had claimed that seven La Liga titles were 'stolen' from his club. Gavi noted that the Madrid side always tries to downplay Barcelona's successes.
"Everyone knows that in Madrid, they always try to devalue the trophies we win. This shouldn't worry us. Winning the championship twice in a row with many La Masia graduates and without major transfers is the result of hard work," added the 21-year-old player.
