Gabi was put on the operating table, and he will play his return match for the first time in 11 months, or 355 days to be exact.
Gabi entered instead of Pedri and wore the captain’s armband. Many spectators in the stadium applauded to Gabi, who returned to the pitch after overcoming rehabilitation.
