Barcelona Players Understood Where Gundogan Was Coming From With Classico Criticism – Inigo Martinez

Barcelona defender, Inigo Martinez has come out to say that Ilkay Gundogan did not intend to criticize the team after the Clasico defeat. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, people say things they do not mean during the heat of the moment, so he was not shocked by Gundogan’s choice of words after such a painful defeat.

Martinez added that no Barcelona player felt singled out by the German, and it is all good vibes between everyone of them.

His words, “It was just after the game, in the heat of the moment, we had just lost against Real Madrid and when you are in the heat of the moment, you say things you don’t mean. Whenever you’re like this, things usually don’t come out well and often contribute little.

We all knew what he wanted to say and none of us felt singled out. The next day, we talked about it. It was in the heat of the moment because you lose against Madrid and you say things that you don’t really mean and you don’t want to say. Everything is solved, there are good vibes. There is no problem between us.”

WOW.

Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.

Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.

The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.

In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
