Barcelona veteran Ilkay Gundogan was none too pleased with his colleagues after defeat to Real Madrid on Saturday, and made that perfectly clear in public. Yet various reports are beginning to emerge regarding what set Gundogan’s temper alight.
According to Sport, Gundogan’s initial motive for frustration, beyond the result and the manner of it, was that upon entering the dressing room, he found two of his teammates on their phones and joking. Something he did not think was a serious attitude.
The German midfielder did not make his statements to the press in a moment of heat though, MD detail that he showered and changed and then went to speak to the press.
They claim that as much as the laughter ticked Gundogan off, the general aspect of sadness and lamenting what had happened, rather than one of rebelliousness. The Champions League-winning captain wanted to see more fire in the face of such frustration, and his comments were designed to inspire that.
Seemingly it is not the first time that Gundogan has been disappointed by the Barcelona experience since arriving at the club, although that is more related to the club itself rather than the football operation. It looks as if the German international will have to battle to raise the Blaugrana to his expectations.

This is not the first time that Barca has lost the El Classico,this things happens and camo'n that was Madrid with Jude effect. I just want Xavi to stop playing Romeu,he is a very useless player who was cost the team whenever he plays ,he shivers on the ball and loses it too many times.

And this is the club Xavi claims is the most demanding. Losing an El Clasico and then laughing and scrolling through Social Madia. Could never happen at Real Madrid.

Gundogan's post-Clasico rant reflects his desire for more commitment and professionalism within Barcelona. His frustration with teammates on their phones is understandable, and his composed approach to addressing the issue with the press shows thoughtfulness. He wants to see more determination and fire in the face of adversity, which is a reasonable expectation from a Champions League-winning captain. His disappointment with the Barcelona experience seems directed at the club's culture, indicating a deeper commitment to its values. In summary, Gundogan's actions call for a higher level of commitment and leadership within the squad, potentially benefiting the team. Barcelona might benefit from heeding Ilkay Gundogan's call for more professionalism and determination. In times of adversity, a display of commitment and fire can go a long way in inspiring a team to overcome challenges and achieve success. It's essential to embrace the club's values and traditions to foster a stronger, more united environment. In essence, the road to improvement begins with a collective dedication to the cause.
well said I didn't see it that way before but come to think of it you really made sense

Not sure it is thoughtfulness. To invigorate or reinvigorate your own team, especially a player as experienced as Gundogan, I question whether a public press interview is the appropriate medium to achieve this. He should address his concerns privately, within the confines of the club. Publicly drawing attention to a seemingly innocuous disciplinary issue will serve to harm his relationship with fellow team mates. After all, who would want their private behaviour in the dressing room publicised like that? He does not need press involvement to improve the mindset in Barcelona, moreover, that's not his job. He should sit down privately with Xavi and air his concerns regarding his team mates, it is Xavi's responsibility to validate those concerns and take the necessary action. This is thoughtlessness and could potentially cause a rift in the team.

I think what xavi and barca need to get is that the better team doesn’t always win but the team which takes their chances win like Madrid did so Xavi shd seriously stop saying we played better and start helping the players to finish the chances And it’s not just this game but it’s been happening for a while the type of football Xavis Barca initially played was very different

When it dawns on you that you have joined a small-minded club full of kids. They whine on the field all day and play on referees. At Madrid, when the team loses, it feels like a funeral in the dressing room and the players mentally beat themselves up. Gareth Bale once said that at Madrid, when you lose, you feel like you have lost a relative. Some players do not eat for the entire day after.

Gundogan spent many years at Man City where the standards were high under Pep to now go to Barcelona where the players are more laid back and it difficult for him to adjust to their level of professionalism ,that could be very frustrating
