The journey has ended for Barcelona. Their hopes of achieving a historic treble were dashed by Inter Milan, leaving fans heartbroken.
Although many would argue that the Catalan giants deserved to progress, football often deals harsh outcomes. In this instance, the sport favored a team that, by many accounts, exerted less effort both on the night and throughout the knockout rounds of the competition.
Barcelona’s Champions League campaign came to a disappointing conclusion in a closely contested tie against Inter Milan, which ultimately saw them eliminated with a 4–3 aggregate loss.
The Blaugrana side had been within reach of the final, but costly errors in defense at pivotal moments led to their downfall and ended their ambitions of conquering Europe this season.
Meanwhile, troubling news continues to surface regarding the future of Barcelona’s young midfield star, Gavi. According to reports from the Spanish outlet El Nacional, what was once seen as a recovery and reintegration period for the 20-year-old following a serious knee injury has now become a struggle for relevance under new manager Hansi Flick. Once known for his bravery and relentless energy, Gavi has yet to rediscover the form that made him one of Europe’s standout young midfielders.
While the club maintains that Flick still believes in Gavi’s potential, his limited time on the pitch paints a different picture. The Barcelona midfield remains dominated by Frenkie de Jong and Pedri, with emerging talents like Dani Olmo and Fermín López securing more advanced roles. This situation has left Gavi spending more time on the bench, hindering both his development and ambitions.
Amid this growing uncertainty, a familiar face has reportedly reached out to Gavi: Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique. The former Spain coach, who had previously shown faith in Gavi during his early international career, has made contact with the midfielder. Enrique assured Gavi that at PSG, he would be a crucial part of the team’s plans — a guaranteed starter and an influential figure in the squad.
Even though PSG recently made it to the Champions League final, the French club is already planning for next season. Enrique views Gavi as an ideal fit for his midfield plans, valuing his technical skill, attacking mindset, tactical awareness, and reliability
While Gavi remains officially committed to Barcelona, with his contract running until 2030, he has quietly begun exploring alternatives in case his situation at the club remains unchanged, knowing he cannot afford another year without consistent playing time.
