Gavi sends public message to Barcelona teammates ahead of Napoli clash | OneFootball

Barcelona starlet Gavi has taken to social media this afternoon, to send a message of support to his teammates.

Barca, of course, are primed to return to action in just a few hours’ time.

After securing a last-gasp return to winning ways in La Liga at the weekend, Xavi’s troops will turn their attentions towards matters on the continent, when they make the trip to Naples for a Champions League Last-16 first leg showdown with Serie A champions Napoli.

The Blaugrana will head into the matchup as narrow favourites, with Napoli in the midst of a chaotic week which saw head coach Walter Mazzarri sent on his way late on Monday night.

The endeavours of the visitors to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, though, will come without the contributions of several key members of Xavi’s squad.

As much comes an ongoing stretch of bad luck on the personnel front in Catalunya’s capital.

And, as alluded to above, on Wednesday afternoon, one such sidelined star has moved to showcase his support for his teammates.

Taking to his official Instagram account, midfielder Gavi unveiled a photo of the club’s stars celebrating on the pitch, accompanied by the caption:

“Always with you to the death. Let’s go!!”
