In an interview with Men's Health, Gavi revealed that he has never seen a psychologist but hopes to try one in the future.

Gavi underwent surgery in September 2023 for an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his right knee. This injury frustrated him greatly, as he felt like he was falling into the same hole again. The injury forced him to take time off, learn patience, and understand that recovery is part of a footballer's career.

The FC Barcelona midfielder spoke in an interview about how his approach to self-care has changed after experiencing physical problems over the past few years.

Gavi had limited playing time early in the season due to a knee collision in the opening match against Elche. It was just a minor scare, and he has now recovered, playing a few minutes in the Champions League against Feyenoord and in the league against Racing Santander.

Regarding emotional adjustment after injury, Gavi said: "A psychologist can always help. It's always important whether you're in a bad or an excellent state. I've never gone, but I would like to." He added: "Being with family and spending time alone has also helped me a lot."

For Gavi, returning to the pitch after almost a year away in 2023 was not easy. Then in September 2023, he had to take another break of approximately five months due to a meniscus operation on the same knee. However, Gavi doesn't want the outside world to define him by his injuries. Instead, he wants people to remember his playing style and versatility. This summer he returned in time for the World Cup.

Gavi also spoke about social media. He enjoys using it but doesn't pay too much attention to others' opinions and handles criticism well. Gavi said: "The people I really care about in football are my teammates, the coach, and the fans. If they're happy... ultimately, they see me every day and know the truth. As for others, of course they're free to share their opinions. You can like or dislike a player as much as you want, but I'm always clear about my own thoughts. It's part of football, just like criticism, but honestly, it doesn't affect me that much."

In the dressing room there are examples like Rodri, who doesn't have social media accounts. In contrast, teammates like Olmo and Yamal use these platforms more, posting and sharing their own opinions.

As for Gavi's style, after winning the World Cup, he appeared with pink hair. This was fulfilling a promise. Over recent months, Gavi has paid attention to his image. He visits "Sanrothebarber" to cut and change his hairstyle frequently.

Gavi said with a smile: "Actually, as a kid I never cared about my hair. I didn't pay much attention to it before. When I went to the barbershop, I'd tell the barber it didn't matter what style they gave me—anything was fine. As I grew up, I started paying more attention to my image because it's important to present yourself well to the outside world. And there are many people watching us."
