After FC Barcelona lost to Real Madrid, by the score of 2 to 1, Ilkay Gundogan spoke to the media and it was very hard to mention: “I want to be honest but without going overboard, because I wouldn't like to say something I shouldn't. I come from the locker room and obviously people are disappointed, but after such an important game and an unnecessary result I would like to see more anger and disappointment.”

“More emotions have to come out when you lose and when you know you can play better and do better in certain situations, and you don't react. This is then transferred to the field. We have to take a very big step in this aspect, because if not Real Madrid or even Girona are going to escape,” added Ilkay Gundogan.

Ilkay Gundogan concluded about his goal of joining FC Barcelona: “I didn't come here to lose these types of games or to allow these gaps to open. I also have a responsibility as a veteran player to not allow the team to let these things happen. “We need resistance.”

Although he raised many comments after Ilkay Gundogan's statements, according to information from Jordi Gil from Sport, the players made the decision to declare the German as one of the leaders in the dressing room, since they liked his attitude and they liked him. It gave a shock to those who needed more sporting competition.
