After FC Barcelona’s 2-1 loss to archrival Real Madrid on Saturday in El Clásico, German midfielder lkay Gündoan (33) was reportedly left angry. After Gündoan gave the home team a 1-0 lead, Jude Bellingham scored twice for Los Blancos in the second half, including an injury-time winner.
After the game, Gündoan was extremely agitated when speaking to the media about the mood in the locker room following Barcelona’s defeat, which puts them four points behind league leaders Real Madrid.
The three-time champion said, “I don’t want to say something wrong, but I was in the dressing room, and obviously everyone was disappointed, but especially after such a big game, I wanted to see more frustration, more anger, and more disappointment.”
When you lose and don’t react, it shows on the field, he continued. I didn’t travel all this way to see us be blown out by Real Madrid or even Girona, so we’ve got to step it up.
After the loss, Barcelona dropped to third place, four points behind Real Madrid and Girona, with Atlético Madrid in fourth place, two points behind Barcelona with two games in hand.
