It was not casualidad that Gavi abandoned Benito Villamarín and Spain stepped backwards in his party against Portugal. The midfield player of the FC Barcelona signed a big performance in front of the combined Portuguese and went the big protagonist of 'The Red' in a party in which, although they were upper, did not reach them to strike first and do with the leadership of the group 2 of the League To of the UEFA Nations League.
The ones of Luis Enrique no puedieron rascar more than a tie in Benito Villamarín (1-1). The goal of Ricardo Horta for the tie coincided with the exit of the field of a Gavi that had comported like the engine of the Spaniards and the most differential player on the terrain of game. It ran behind the balloon during eighty minutes and left to see that, as little, has three lungs. Tireless in a quite contested party in which it felt 'boss' of the centre of the field.
It appeared to his antojo, turning into a player indescifrable for the defence lusa. Of him it was born the first clear occasion of Spain, with a finish from the frontal, and also the goal of Álvaro Morata with which opened the marker. It recovered in Spanish terrain and drove a contragolpe without asterisks to enable to Sarabia, that in career received and centred to the '7' Spanish. Half goal arrived of the boots of a Gavi that did not doubt in justifying the confidence that gives him Luis Enrique.
The one of The Palaces and Villafranca atevió to everything and participated in each played that it could. It abandoned the terrain to the eighty minutes to give entrance to Marco Llorente, after feeling a prick owing to the fatigue. Gavi Left between applauses and an ovation, in recognition by his go through the quarry of the Real Betis does a few years.
Ansu Fati Did not see minutes
Eric García and Ansu Fati were the only culés that remained in the bench. So much Sergio Busquets like Jordi Alba were titled the ninety minutes, whereas Ferran Torres played little more than an hour. On the '10' of the Barça, Luis Enrique aimed after the party that "Ansu Fati comes to help us on a long-term basis, but think that still does not have the necessary rhythm of competition and do not go to run risks, and less with him".
