Gavi wins the Kopa Trophy as the top Under-21 football player in the world
The Kopa Trophy, awarded annually to the world’s top Under-21 player, has been announced the 2022 winner as Spain international. Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund, Jamal Musiala of Bayern, and Eduardo Camavinga competed against Gavi for the prize, but Gavi prevailed.
The award was previously won by Pedri, a teammate of Gavi’s at Barcelona, and it has also been given to Matthijs de Ligt and Kylian Mbappe in the past. Despite his lack of elite experience, Gavi emerged onto the forefront in 2021 and immediately established himself as a fixture for Barcelona and Spain.
Despite only turning 18 in August, the aggressive midfielder has already made 60 appearances for the Catalan powerhouses. Barcelona took action to ensure his long-term future by awarding him a contract with a €1 billion release clause in September.
