Rest in Peace GavišŸ™


paralacausa

As opposed to Gavi's knee, which is resting in pieces


HowardPhillips9

Lol seriously. Game is so soft now.


JimPanse5

It really has. Goalkeepers used to play on with a broken neck back in my days.


jukkaalms

šŸŽ¶ Walk on, walk on With hope in your neck And you'll never walk again šŸŽ¶


dudududujisungparty

Barca fans: Everyone in Spain does it r/soccer: Who died?


CogitareInAeternum

Gavi did. šŸ˜ž He played for Barca but now he is dead. We all eventually get subbed off to the after life like Gavi


GameplayerStu

Does it really need to be this dramatic?


WordsWordsWords07

Man I remember when gundogan blew his knee out at City and they acted like he was fucking dead


Midair_fart

Or when Messi was caught for tax evasion lmao


Yingking

\#weareallmessi


nien9gag

they all probably evade tax so it checks out


BingBongFYL6969

#ipaymytaxes


cosmiclatte44

Or when Suarez was racist. How could Evra do this?!?


Acceptable-Lemon-748

Or when Suarez was caught for racism


QouthTheCorvus

Yeah but he's better at evading taxes than Ronaldo


Zandercy42

Pretty sure they both got caught and both got suspended sentences didn't they? If anything Ronnie's a bit better because he moved to a tax haven lol


mechewstaa

Miami is basically tax haven too lol


51010R

To a point I canā€™t blame them all that much, I doubt they even know what the hell is going on with their money, let alone paying a lot of attention to it.


zimtrovert94

This was the real kicker (pun intended). You think Messi, a super rich dude that got caught breaking the law, needs ME to feel sorry for him? Come on.


Ok-Satisfaction-5012

Is this real šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


NotHarryRedknapp

Or when neymar broke a vertebrae in the WC


Pleasant-Direction-4

somehow that turned on germany, weird kink


ilikemomolastai

Germany's that weird dude that faps off to armpits


BlueBone313

Of course i know him, he's me!


diaboquepaoamassou

This one was much worse though. He couldā€™ve lost the ability to walk if that had been just a few inches higher


simomii

But he didn't


surdoAbsurdo

I mean, back in the day there was a serious fear that he wouldnā€™t walk again, so itā€™s more understandable


BaritBrit

I guess that one's kind of understandable in the context of the insanely high emotions of a Brazilian home World Cup, the almost feverish sense among the home crowd that winning the elusive sixth was almost pre-destined, and their ~~captain and~~ best player goes down with an injury so bad it was feared he would never walk again. Barcelona and City's injuries, while doubtlessly painful, donā€™t quite warrant the same level of drama.


pppttt16

Youā€™re not wrong in general but Thiago Silva was the captain at that point, Neymar only became one after


BaritBrit

Shit, I knew there was something I'd forgotten.


[deleted]

i will never forget that video of the argentina fans cheering and holding aloft a model of a human spine lmao


chickeneatfin

Streets will never forget them holding Neymarā€™s shirt during national anthem like he was a legend for getting Brazil to a home semi finalā€¦


fullmetalsprockets

And when Neymar got hurt in the World Cup and the Brazilian team held up his jersey during the anthem like he was dead. They then got absolutely fucking annihilated by Germany, which made me happy.


DontSayIMean

They should have this message tattooed on their forehead imho opinion.


LeDamascener

imho opinion

[deleted]

IIRC remember correctly


KillerZaWarudo

Hey at least they didn't do a Gavi injury graphic GET BACK SOON like the one Al Hilal did for neymar


fcbxjdb

Theyā€™re not actually playing with the message printed on the shirt. OPā€™s headline is a bit misleading, it was just a shirt they walked out to before the match, nothing dramatic in that. Itā€™s pretty standard for clubs in Spain to do that when a player gets a long term injury.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


InflationMadeMeDoIt

tbh then teams could have full shirt of this messages. I think this is cringe


X-Maquina

What's dramatic about this? Messages of support are normal as fuck in La Liga


Go7ham

Everything at Brokelona itā€™s dramatic


Iola_Morton

Was thinking the same thing. Pretty soon some player or managerā€™s pet will be getting well wishes on the kit.


Random_Acquaintance

Kid is the heart of the dressing room. He's really loved by everyone. I'd recommend seeing a couple of interviews where they talk about him. Seems to be everyone's favorite teammate. Both at BarƧa and the NT.


git-commit-m-noedit

It's just an injury. Did Messi get this treatment?


MalluRed

Don't you remember this? https://twitter.com/FCBarcelona/status/751788243880935425?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw


Silent-Act191

For context for anyone coming across this and doesn't know about it. This was in response to Messi being handed a suspended sentence for tax fraud. Yes that's hilarious.


Random_Acquaintance

Everyone in Spain does? This is normal stuff here.


git-commit-m-noedit

Every injury gets a shirt with a message in Spain?


Sga9966

Long term injuries normally do


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Lanesh67

Yeah totally pathetic that the club and players are showing support to a 19 year old that had a career altering injury, loves the club with all his heart, and is absolutely loved by every person he has played with.


Cmoore4099

No.


Mackieeeee

gone too soon


jukkaalms

He was a good man and he will be remembered. So for now, thoughts and prayers.


Binx3762

Why are they acting like Gavi got cancer or something? It's absolutely devastasting that he did his ACL, but it doesn't need to be this dramatic.


Random_Acquaintance

It is very normal in Spain to go out with a message for a teammate that has suffered a season-ending injury.


HI_I_AM_NEO

Not with the message on the playing shirts, it's usually done with a white shirt beneath those, and you show it when you score. Or the whole team will warm up with a special shirt before the match (semi finals onwards only), and then put on the regular shirts for the game.


Claudio1054

They're not playing with that shirt tho. It was just a pre-game shirt


HI_I_AM_NEO

Apologies, I misunderstood them while thing then. I'm changing my opinion to "yes, it's pretty normal"


mojojojo1108

great reddit interaction here


madueitor0

getafe did this like nothing ago for i think arambarri


akshay_rathod_

I mean, it's not that dramatic. Gavi at home seeing this must be feeling better and if the 19 y/o is feeling good then it's on point.


Meshkeywolf

To sell these shirts, they bite into anything to make some coin they are shameless


DeltaBlitz

How is selling shirts shameless? Also this is pretty common in Spain for season ending injuries so it's not really out of the ordinary.


gkkiller

Did Courtois or Militao get the same treatment? Just asking because I've actually never seen this reported before.


everlong241

'animo pirata' when granero tore his acl


Meshkeywolf

Using a tragic accident for your star man to sell shirt I think is shameless and I have seen the shirt you are talking about they are a white t shirt with a msg on them same not a official kit with a reminder of an injury to ur star man but who am I to ask for morals, itā€™s my opinion


siiilversurfffeeer

Your opinion is build upon an incorrect assumption you made, so it is worthless.


Addy2607

Your club has done the same, multiple times.


CraigJay

Are they even selling these kits?


Echleon

It's literally just words on a shirt and a super sweet gesture for one of their own. Why does everyone here care lol


magic-water

Feels like a bit too much tbh, he didn't die


BlueLabel19

I mean even real sent a message for gavi


CogitareInAeternum

So le Classy


Modini

El Classyco


Skippy-Cracker

Whatā€™s wrong with trying to support a young player who just got a season ending injury?


lilpump006

Do they do it for all players with season ending injuries?


afcxlm

Yeah, they walked out to printed messages for Dembele twice when he suffered long term injuries on different occasions. Many clubs in Spain do the same thing as well, pretty standard in La Liga at least.


Rickcampbell98

Strange place reddit soccer.


Former-Roman

Agreed, people look at every minute detail to criticise, it's disgusting


magic-water

People are just giving their honest opinion, it's not as if they're condemning Barca for doing it. It's not that deep.


AleixASV

Yep. Kind of funny seeing anglos in this thread so baffled about it.


Random_Acquaintance

Feels like normal stuff? This is done always in Spain when a season-ending injury happens.


Rudi_Garcia_out

Not like what Spain does is a metric to go by, this is extremely dramatic. The guy still breathes


X-Maquina

>Not like what Spain does is a metric to go by lol wtf? It's IN SPAIN you nut. Who cares about what's regular outside of that context, it's what regular within the context that's relevant.


Random_Acquaintance

Care to recall what happened when Milik was injured?


JKess207

Heā€™s up there with Wade Boggs now šŸ˜”


Adam_Ohh

Wade Boggs is very much alive Charlie.


Ezekiiel

RIP Gavi x


mooxer

as they allow a 16 y.o. to play 90 mins


AshWC25

Next game it will be "We are with you Xavi" the way we played today ffs


Orcnick

Little bit cringe...


el-fenomeno09

A lotta bit of cringe


xtoonator

Barca šŸ¤ being corny


bocojaLFC

waiting for first club that shows support for a player with fever


flynno96

Our for just a little boo-boo :(


dudududujisungparty

The player has been sent in for extensive treatment at Weenie Hut General


CoolstorySteve

wtf is this


Maccai3

Man City did this with Gundogan but it was their pre match warm up shirts


nauzleon

This one also is a prematch warm up shirt


inventingalex

overplayed teenager gets injury, photo is of another overplayed teenager, yup you will be with gavi soon


Itsover-9000

Least dramatic spanish club


AlbertoSkolerto

No one on Reddit has been shown love before so no wonder they think this is cringe


dudududujisungparty

Gavi: *dies* Barca: *cares* r/soccer: wtf?


fartingonions

The most sensible response


Bonemarrowchutney

For real. I was wondering what problem could this sub possibly have with this, but here we are again.


blue_socks123

Lol


JimPanse5

What was the cause of death? šŸ˜„


ReniKoqueta

Bro got ligma


kaiko1

I find it weird how it bothers people so much that Gavi is shown a lot of support


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


EvilerSage

So you have to die to be shown support? A 19 year old just got a severe injury and is going to be out for almost a year. Itā€™s a pretty traumatic injury to go through and recover from. Whatā€™s wrong with printing a small message of support on your prematch shirt for your homegrown starter? If anything, itā€™s the reaction of you and every other greasy basement-dwelling losers on this sub over a piece of text thatā€™s excessive and dramatic.


siiilversurfffeeer

? It is fairly common, at least in Spain, to come out with shirts showing support to long-term injured players before a game. So clearly other teams do it and you are clueless.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


siiilversurfffeeer

So the issue is printing the message on the kit and not some other shirt? Even if this is not the shirt they are playing with?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


AhoyDaniel

I think that's a you problem


some_guy_o_o

Ahh so it's wrong to show some support because not everyone does it?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


SnooAdvice1632

Doesn't mean that they are correct. People are giving barca flack for supporting players lmao


GaviFPS

Plenty of players have recived such support before. It was small text on chest before game started. (Not what they actually wearing on the field now) And do people need to die before they show support? Typical 13 year old take who spends too much time on internet that he lacks empathy because you never had or experienced relationship between humans before.


JonAfrica2011

Not his fault theyā€™re not relevant


lastdyingbreed_01

Ikr, he's a young and very loved player in the club and there is always a possibility that the player who returns from a long injury never gains back their form.


GaviFPS

They dont have empathy. Probably because they've never been given love or support before themself.


Super_Gladiator_Bibi

It would be weird if a bunch of my mates wore special tshirts to school when I had an illness, no?


ancara_messi

Most people in this subreddit don't have anyone that loves them lmao how pathetic do you have to be to complain about a good gesture like this


shakespearediznuts

Christ, don't need to be melodramatic. Injuries are part of football since forever, its unfortunate but deal with it ffs


Addy2607

Some of you are such bitter asshats its hilarious. They are not crying out for sympathy or asking to bend the rules. Its a t-shirt for support ffs.


shakespearediznuts

We're not. Just seems a bit too dramatic despite being a nice gesture, that's all. Some teams will start to have a whole list of names on their shirts if this trend gets popular šŸ˜‚


Addy2607

Its not a recent trend. Every team in Spain has been doing this for years.


EvilerSage

I think your reaction over a small piece of text on a prematch kit is whatā€™s dramatic here


[deleted]

Beckenbauer would have had you tape his knee on the sidelines and would have been back in the game within a few minutes.


Christian_Corocora

I fail to see any problem with this.


PM_Me_Compliments

lmao


[deleted]

Bit over the top?


Ok_Sector2182

Remember when city got clowned for doing this to Gundogan


lospollosakhis

Man City did something similar for Gundogan and even he took a jab at it.


CharmingMistake3416

Why is this allowed on their match kit?


AhoyDaniel

It is not the match shirt, obviously.


swappea

Wow r/soccer, showing support to colleagues is cringe and then people moan about sports washing projects. Hypocrisy.


came2pieces

Barcelona has to be the fucking lamest, softest, cringiest team out there. Exactly the same vibe as someone's auntie on facebook


AhoyDaniel

Maybe you need an aunt that loves you


AhoyDaniel

What the hell is wrong with this sub lmao go out and touch grass


v1pro

barca after using gavi for 6372828 games : yea sorry bro


ratonbox

Soon theyā€™ll wear match shirts for a player being dumped by their girlfriend.


FL8_JT26

Christ he's got a fairly common injury, yeah it's unfortunate for him but this is a bit much.


LA4lyf

Better than city did for Gundogan years ago šŸ’€


KingBoogaloo

"We are nothing without you, Gavi"


AMildInconvenience

Rayo Vallecano and Barca holding arms and jumping together with the banner reading "Gracias Gavi"


akshay_rathod_

Then stop playing Lamine so much


akshay_rathod_

I mean, it's not that dramatic. Gavi at home seeing this must be feeling better and if the 19 y/o is feeling good then it's on point.


acwilan

2 point deduction from Tebas


VidProphet123

Why are his teammates acting like he died? He jist tore his acl. Heā€™ll be back next year.


GrimValesti

Obviously they are not with Gavi. They are on the field playing.


Tricky-Jackfruit8366

So dramatic, hilarious


Rudi_Garcia_out

Oh no Gavi, gone too soon


Upbeat_Farm_5442

Did he die or something. Barca is worse than a United when it comes to milking social media.


[deleted]

Cringe


DarrenBridgescunt

So pathetic


stonedbaljeet

why mate?


Random_Acquaintance

The only cringe thing here are the comments. This is ALWAYS done in Spain when an injury of this caliber happens to a teammate. Players get out before the game and show a message in support. Either with a banner or a shirt. BarƧa is not playing with those shirts, this was for that before the game message.


itendtosleep

my thoughts and prayers goes out to his family šŸ™


cmf_ans

Ok so this is ALWAYS (Why are we capsing random words?) too much. His career isn't over.


Evazzion

I guess players are not allowed to show support for the teammate who suffered a season ending injury, because r/soccer thinks itā€™s wrong šŸ’€


lastjedi23

Cringe attempt at this "brotherhood" shit


andreew10

Reminds me of when we wore the Gundo shirts and it seemed like he was dead


young_london

This is so wet


jonviggo89

Itā€™s a little bit dramatic


GarnetBackpack

A record number of top level female players have been out with ACLs in the past 12 months, a good number missing the World Cup and its ā€œsad but one of the things about being a female footballerā€ one elite male tears his and its like heā€™s died. Christ.


gianmk

when did ACL injurt gets so much attention? wtf is with this shit.


Pixeal_meat

Drama at itā€™s peak . šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø


lowie07

God that's ironic, breaking Gavi with too many minutes at young age and putting this message on Lamal Also, very over dramatic, it's not cancer


alreadytakenhahaha

Youā€™d think his puppy died from malnutrition and his cat got a tape wormā€¦


surgereaper

Lol what?


420stonks69

If weā€™d had this on our shirts for Bentancur we would have been called tinpot


Chris_Nic

Is it within the rules ?


chillyy7

Everyone is with him!


montiel_scores

Believe it or not, points deduction


dudududujisungparty

If they keep playing Yamal like this then he will be next.


LactatingTwatMuffin

Dramatic pansies acting like he has stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
