Spain lost the Europa Nations League final to France on Sunday – but Liverpool fans were dazzled by Barcelona talent Gavi.

Spain did take the lead at the San Siro with Mikel Oyarzabal burying a left-footed strike beyond Hugo Lloris.

Karim Benzema scored a stunning equaliser before Kylian Mbappe’s controversial winner handed France a 2-1 victory.

Spain will at least feel they are making progress, with Gavi once again shining for La Roja.

You have to be pretty good to be playing for Spain and Barcelona at just 17. That’s exactly what Gavi is doing now.

The former Real Betis talent is taking the world by storm with outstanding technique and control of the midfield.

Liverpool fans rave about Gavi

With Barcelona’s financial chaos well documented, it’s no surprise that Gavi is already being linked away.

El Nacional reported last week that Liverpool want Gavi – and are prepared to pay his €50million (£34million) release clause.

Liverpool have been linked with Pedri too, but Gavi is the new flavour of the month.

Liverpool fans watched Gavi play beyond his years against France, urging the club to sign him soon.

Others believe he was much better than Paul Pogba, branding him ‘unbelievable’ and ‘generational’.
