Gundogan slams Barcelona team-mates after Clasico defeat

Ilkay Gundogan has urged his Barcelona teammates to express themselves more emotionally following their defeat by Real Madrid in the Clasico.

Real Madrid defeated Barcelona in the opening Clasico of the season on Saturday afternoon. Barca trailed Carlo Ancelotti’s team in the standings by one point going into the game at Camp Nou, despite being undefeated in La Liga. With Ilkay Gundogan giving them the lead in the sixth minute, Barca stormed out of the traps in front of their own supporters. However, a stunning strike and a calm finish in stoppage time from Jude Bellingham gave Madrid all three points.

“I come from the dressing room and obviously people are disappointed after such a big game, such an important game and such an unthinkable result, I would like to see more anger, more disappointment,” he told Optus Sport. .
