The German Ilkay Gündogan showed his frustration after the fall of FC Barcelona in the Classic against Real Madrid with a score of 2-1. Although the midfielder made his debut this Saturday as a scorer, scoring the only goal for the culé team, he was very angry in statements to LaLiga.
“I want to be honest, but without going overboard. I don’t want to say the wrong thing, to be honest, but I was in the locker room and obviously people are upset, but after such an important game and such an unfair result I would like to see more frustration, anger and disappointment. And this is part of the problem,” said Gündogan in statements to LaLiga TV.
Barcelona fell at home, the Montjuic Olympic Stadium, against its biggest rival thanks to two goals from Englishman Jude Bellingham so that Real Madrid is placed first in the tournament along with Girona and four points behind the Catalan club in the standings. .

“More emotions have to come out when you lose, when you know you can play better and do better in certain situations, and you don’t react. This is then transferred to the field. We have to take a very big step in that aspect because if not, Real Madrid and even Girona are going to escape,” the Barcelona player pointed out bluntly.
Although the result was a serious setback for Barcelona’s aspirations to win the first division of Spanish football again, Gündogan believes that his team has what it takes to win the league, but that a change in attitude and mentality is necessary to achieve it. .
“I didn’t come here to lose these types of games or allow these gaps to open. I also have a responsibility as a veteran player to not allow the team to let these things happen. We need resistance,” concluded the 33-year-old midfielder.
