Supporters were stunned to see a 5 foot 7″ Gavi beat 6 foot 6″ Wout Weghorst in the air during their Europa League clash.
Manchester United faced off with Barcelona in the Europa League on Thursday evening with both sides coming into the game in excellent form.
The Red Devils are currently third in the Premier League and now only five points off first place while Barcelona is a whopping eight points clear at the top of La Liga.
The first half was timid with the best opportunity falling to Weghorst who could only hit it straight at the goalkeeper.
But the main talking point at the half wasn’t the Dutch striker’s miss, it was the fact that he lost an aerial duel to a 5 foot 7″ Gavi despite being almost a foot bigger.
Did Gavi just win a header vs Weghorst? 😭
