In the spotlight: goldcrest Gavi confident for duel Germany after numerous records | football world cup

Until this week, Cesc Fàbregas was the youngest Spaniard ever at a World Cup (19 years and 41 days at the 2006 World Cup) and Raúl was the youngest goalscorer for Spain at a World Cup (20 years and 351 days at the 1998 World Cup). Both records disappeared from the books this week. The 18-year-old Gavi, not chosen as Golden Boy for nothing, now has both World Cup records to his name after his successful performance against Costa Rica (7-0). He immediately got a base spot and he scored. The young FC Barcelona midfielder is confidently looking forward to the World Cup match with Germany.

18: Gavi is only 18 years old. When he scored against Costa Rica, he was 18 years and 110 days to be exact. In doing so, he became the youngest goalscorer ever for Spain at a World Cup or European Championship. Not only that: he was also the youngest Spaniard ever to win a World Cup match.

64: With his goal against Costa Rica, Gavi became the youngest World Cup goalscorer in 64 years. It was in 1958 Pelé who scored a goal for Brazil at the age of 17. The Mexican Manuel Rosas was also just a little younger than Gavi in ​​1930 as a World Cup goalscorer. Rosas was 18 years and 93 days old at the time. With that, Gavi is now number three in terms of the youngest goalscorers ever at a football world championship.

4: Gavi can become the fourth player with two goals in a World Cup before his nineteenth birthday. In addition to the aforementioned Pelé and Rosas, Michael Owen also performed this on behalf of England.

15: Although Gavi is still very young, he can already play his fifteenth international match against Germany. In those international matches, the FC Barcelona midfielder scored three goals.

In addition to the cracker between Spain and Germany, there is plenty of other spectacle on this World Cup day.

And what is possible Hakim Ziyech of Moroccowhere playing along Noussair Mazraoui uncertain, against Belgium?
