Barcelona star Gavi's girlfriend goes viral on championship day

The couple displayed their affection in front of millions of fans worldwide on May 18.

Gavi played a key role in Barcelona’s successful season, helping the Spanish giant win La Liga, Copa del Rey and Super Cup.

Pelayo, 22, is a student from Seville who stood by Gavi during his challenging recovery from knee surgery, which sidelined him for 10 months. The couple began appearing publicly together last summer, when Pelayo shared a photo with Gavi’s mother and sister on social media, Daily Mail reported.

Her presence on Gavi’s championship day caught the media’s eye. The pair shared romantic moments, including affectionate kisses, sparking admiration among fans.

Gavi boasts 17.9 million Instagram followers, while Ana has amassed a respectable 270,000 followers. Her profile has grown significantly since dating Gavi, with the couple frequently seen together at major events in Barcelona.

In 2022, Gavi was rumored to be linked to Leonor, Princess of Asturias. Media reports revealed that while Leonor admired Gavi as a fan, no romantic relationship between the two was ever publicly confirmed.

Gavi, 20, is considered one of Spain’s biggest young talents. In 2022, he won the Golden Boy award as the young player of the year.
