Gavi in the record books again

Gavi made his 50th league appearance in the 1-0 win at Atlético Madrid on Sunday night, and in doing to becomes the youngest Barça player ever to reach that figure and the second youngest in the whole league since the turn of the century. Only Iker Muniain was younger when he completed his first half-century.

Gavi was just 18 years and 156 days old, just 21 days younger than the Athletic Club star. Other players in the top ten include Bojan, Messi and Ansu Fati of Barça, plus the likes of Oyarzabal, Fernando Torres, Laporte, Meré and Musah.
