In a recent update from Mundo Deportivo, it was revealed that Gavi playing as a playmaker, positioned just behind Robert Lewandowski, is a strong possibility for Barcelona’s next match against Atlético Madrid.
With Lamine Yamal unavailable, coach Hansi Flick now has several options to consider for his starting lineup.
This absence has opened up a number of opportunities, particularly in attack, where Flick may decide to make some bold changes.
Gavi in an advanced role
One of the most notable options being considered is the deployment of Gavi as an attacking midfielder, a role he could play alongside those who will occupy the wide areas against Atlético Madrid.
On the right, Raphinha is the player who has been gaining momentum to replace the injured Yamal. These adjustments in attack could bring a new dynamic to Barcelona’s game against Atlético de Madrid.
Meanwhile, in other areas of the field the team appears to be quite settled. Iñaki Peña is expected to remain in goal, having earned the trust of the coaching staff with his consistent performances.
In defense, Jules Kounde will continue in the right back position, while the centre-back pairing will include Pau Cubarsi and Íñigo Martínez, with Alejandro Balde on the left.
Big change in attack
In the center of the field, Pedri and Marc Casado will maintain their already established partnership. Casado will assume a more defensive role as a ‘stopper’, while Pedri will have more freedom to influence the game.
However, it is in the attacking third where Flick is likely to make the most significant changes, and Gavi could play a key role.
His natural aggression, high work rate and relentless pressing style could prove valuable in helping Barcelona put pressure on Atlético Madrid in their own half.
With these changes, Barcelona will try to find the right balance between creativity and defensive stability as they prepare for a tough clash with Atlético Madrid.
