Fan names player who deserves 50% credit for winning goal v Bilbao, not Raphinha or Busquets
Many have praised Raphinha's shot and especially Sergio Busquets's pass in Barcelona's away goal against Athletic Bilbao. However, Twitter user PuyiFCB believes that Gavi deserves at least as much credit.
"Yes, yes, great from Busquets and Raphinha in this goal but half of the merits go to the movement Gavi makes to free Raphinha up. This lad is among the best in the world. These things don't show up in statistics," they reacted to the goal.
Here's the movement in question.

The fan is right, there is no way you can see this smart play from Gavi by just looking at the stats. Luckily, those who watch the 18-year-old on a regular basis know what he shouldn't be judge based on goals and assists alone.
