Ilkay Gündogan is next FC Barcelona’s bitter exit from the Champions League understandably disappointed.
“I’m disappointed, very disappointed. It was in our hands and we gave it to PSG. We gave it to them in the simplest way,” said the German on “CBS Sports”.
Especially the way it is Barcelona The fact that the game slipped away with one leg in the semi-final through negligence, is more than just an insult. The Catalans had to work harder from the 29th minute onwards after a rude foul by Araujo. That broke the neck of “Blaugrana”.
Open criticism of the Araujo team
The captain of the German national team criticized his colleague’s approach: “It’s hard to say… but in those crucial moments you have to be sure you hit the ball.”
“I don’t know if he touches the ball or not. But I prefer to concede a goal or even allow a one-on-one. I don’t know if he gets the ball or not reach, but I’ll give it to him. “The goalkeeper has a chance to save the shot or I concede a goal,” continued Gündogan.
Obviously it would have been wiser to let Barcola go and risk conceding a goal with a two-goal difference and a full team.
“is the game over”
For the 33-year-old it was clear: “If you play with a smaller man so early, the game is over.”
Even before Vitinha’s goal to make it 1-2 (54th), Gündogan had something to complain about: “You have to go out there and push him away. We can’t let him shoot, he was completely free. That’s not what we have. The player closest to the ball has to move out and push it away.”
“I think I deserved a penalty. It’s clear that the opponent blocked me. I have that referee he said it was a penalty and instead I got a yellow card,” he also criticizes the performance of the referee. In particular, he talks about the scene in the 63rd minute when he made the – Vitinha’s face in the penalty area.
