Preparing for the New Season

The defending La Liga champions are in their final stretch of preparations ahead of the 2025/26 Spanish top-flight season. Under the watch of manager Hansi Flick, Barcelona are gearing up to face RCD Mallorca this weekend, as they look to begin their title defence on a high note.

Earlier in the day, the squad gathered at Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, the club’s training base. As usual, the players were split into teams for an intense intra-squad match.

Omo, This Is Where the Banter Started

According to reports, Gavi’s side emerged victorious — and let’s just say he wasted no time making sure everyone knew about it. Taking to his official Instagram account, the 20-year-old posted a playful message aimed directly at the teammates he had just beaten.

In his words:

“I love beating Frenkie, Balde, Araujo, but above all, Pedri and Eric.”

Omo, if you know footballers, you know this kind of friendly teasing will definitely make the next training session even more competitive.

Fans React to the Light-Hearted Moment

While the post was clearly in good spirits, it didn’t take long for it to spread across fan pages and football blogs. Supporters flooded the comments, tagging the “victims” and laughing at Gavi’s confidence. Some even joked that Pedri and Eric might be plotting revenge in the next training match.

Why This Matters Ahead of the Season

Moments like this show the strong bond inside the Barcelona dressing room. Friendly competition keeps the squad sharp, and with players like Gavi bringing energy and banter, the team spirit remains high — something crucial as they aim for another trophy-filled season.

Still, omo, we’ll keep an eye out for the return fire. With characters like Ronald Araújo and Pedri, you can bet Gavi might just get a taste of his own medicine soon.
