What happened: Speaking to Movistar, Gavi dismissed the notion that Barcelona must be "obsessed" with the Champions League following their April exit to Atlético Madrid. The midfielder emphasized the team's "excellent" domestic campaign as they prepare for a decisive showdown with Real Madrid.

Why it matters: Barcelona sits on the verge of clinching the La Liga title at the renovated Spotify Camp Nou, needing only a point against their rivals to secure the trophy. Gavi, who rejected the obsession with European glory, shifted focus to the club's record-breaking pace toward a 100-point season under Hansi Flick.

By the numbers: Barcelona enters May 10 leading La Liga and targeting a historic 100-point finish. The club secured the Supercopa de España earlier this season but suffered a quarter-final Champions League exit in April. The squad is reported as "200% focused" ahead of the Clásico.

What to watch: Barcelona faces Real Madrid today at the Spotify Camp Nou, where a win or draw will officially crown them La Liga champions.
