In a recent interview, Spanish midfielder Gavi opened up about his life beyond football, stating that if he were not a professional athlete, he would have chosen to become a police officer. This revelation came during a brief Q&A session following a training session with the Spanish national team, as they prepare for their upcoming match in the 2026 FIFA World Cup against Cape Verde.

Gavi, who plays for FC Barcelona, emphasized that his intense nature is a defining characteristic, which he believes makes his teammates reluctant to share living quarters with him. Despite this, he enjoys a close bond with several players, particularly highlighting Lamine Yamal as his best friend in the national team. Within his club, he mentioned his friendships with teammates like Pedri and Ronald Araujo.

Reflecting on his football career, Gavi recalled his most cherished memory as winning the Supercopa with Barcelona, marking a significant achievement early in his career. He also expressed that his best experiences off the pitch are spent at his family home in Seville, where he treasures the moments shared with loved ones.

As Gavi continues to make his mark in international football, his candidness about his aspirations and friendships offers a glimpse into the personal life of one of Spain's rising stars.
