Wild emotions! Lamine Yamal captures Gavi’s reaction to Spain World Cup call-up
Gavi is heading to the World Cup!
Details: Today, a video went viral on social media platform X, filmed by Barcelona and Spain winger Lamine Yamal, capturing the reaction of 21-year-old central midfielder Gavi, who received a call-up to the Spanish national team for the World Cup after a lengthy injury layoff.
Gavi couldn’t contain his emotions—after seeing his name in La Roja’s final squad list, he started jumping and shouting with joy. The one recording this outpouring of emotion, of course, was Lamine Yamal, who is also set to travel to the World Cup.
This season, Gavi missed nearly half the campaign due to a meniscus injury that required surgery.
At the World Cup, Spain have been drawn into Group H, where they will face Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia, and Uruguay.
Reminder: With Yamal and no Real Madrid players. Spain announce squad for the 2026 World Cup
