Gavi once again displayed his competitive edge during Spain’s latest training session as they prepare for the World Cup.

A clip widely shared on social media shows the Barcelona midfielder making a fierce late challenge on his teammate Rodri, who plays for Manchester City. The tackle sent Rodri to the ground, an uncommon level of intensity for a training ground moment.

"Gavi always plays on the edge, and it looks like he brings that same fighting spirit to training," fans noted. This incident reinforced Gavi’s reputation as one of football’s most relentless competitors.

The context is also interesting given that Rodri has been linked with a move to Real Madrid recently. Gavi’s clear rivalry as a devoted Barcelona player adds an extra dimension to his tackle.

His trademark intensity ensures he will bring energy and aggression whenever he steps on the pitch for Spain.
