‘No f***ing idea’ – Response of Barcelona star Gavi to concussion test

Barcelona suffered a scare on Sunday afternoon when in the opening 10 minutes star midfielder Gavi went down with a head knock. After a long delay while he was down, Gavi ended up neglecting the stretcher, but was taken off with head injury anyway.

The Blaugrana confirmed later on Sunday that Gavi, who has recently signed a new deal with the club, was now at home recovering from the incident under medical supervision, after he suffered a concussion. Cameras from Movistar+ captured the incident though, the conversation between the Barcelona doctor and Gavi too, in which it can be seen that he clearly could not continue.

“What day is it?” asks the doctor, to which Gavi responds “No f***ing idea.” He is able to respond “Two o’clock,” when asked what time the game was. “I want to continue,” Gavi says but Vice-Captain Raphinha approaches to say “Listen, you’ve had a head knock brother.” After trying to continue though, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, having been informed that Gavi has a concussion by the club doctor, tells the 20-year-old that “We have to be careful.”
