‘I came here to win’ – Ilkay Gundogan frustrated with Barcelona’s dressing room after El Classico defeat

A story from Marca said that German midfielder İlkay Gündoğan (33) was upset that FC Barcelona lost 2-1 to Real Madrid in Saturday’s El Clásico. They were ahead 1-0 thanks to Gündoğan’s goal, but Jude Bellingham scored two goals in the second half, one in extra time, to give Real Madrid all three points.

“I don’t want to say something wrong, but I was in the locker room. Everyone was disappointed, but especially after such a big game, I wanted to see more frustration, anger, and disappointment,” the treble winner said.

He went on to say, “When you lose and don’t do anything, it shows on the field…” If we don’t get better at that, Real Madrid or even Girona will easily beat us, and I didn’t come here to lose games like that.
