Slavia Prague hero, Ondrej Kolar is not happy with how some Barcelona players did not stop to shake hands or swap shirts after their 0-0 Champions League draw yesternight.
Barcelona went into the game needing a huge result as they have battled for consistency despite topping both their European group and La Liga.
They however had a poor performance and even had to count themselves lucky not to have lost on the night after a goal for Slavia was ruled out for offside.
Reacting after the game, Ondrej praised Marc Ter Stegen for waiting in the tunnel to congratulate his opponent but blasted the others for their snub.
His words, “He was waiting for me inside the tunnel,”
“He stopped me and said he hadn’t seen such a good goalkeeping performance for a long time and that it was a pleasure to watch me play well with my feet.
“He waited for me after the match, which I take as the ultimate award. To hear such praise from such a good goalkeeper, I had goosebumps. It was an amazing experience, but some of the other players…
“Messi and the others just left – some of them didn’t even shake our hands. It was sad. We were all looking forward to meeting these big players, we wanted to swap jerseys after the match, but they didn’t behave very well.”
On the game, “I live for football, playing at stadiums like this is the greatest thing for me. We were all looking forward to it – it’s every boy’s dream. And to have such a good game here? Amazing. To keep a team like this from scoring doesn’t happen to everyone.
“We’re the first team in a long time to keep a clean sheet here, everyone knows that Barcelona is a goal factory. We survived a few hectic moments but it’s a pity that we didn’t score. I felt like we could have won.”
