Following Ilkay Gundogan’s criticism of his Barcelona teammates, there has been plenty of talk about how the German’s words went down with ‘sections of the dressing room’. Now it has been revealed how those sections are usually divided, although not necessarily regarding the tension between Ronald Araujo and Gundogan.
The groups, as is natural, tend to be divided by age and nationality as a general rule, the largest being the Spanish-speaking group, consisting of Marcos Alonso, Pedri, Gavi, Ferran Torres, Marcos Alonso and Inigo Martinez.
Meanwhile the young players who have recently risen to the senior side tend to stick together, say Sport, with Pau Cubarsi, Hector Fort, Marc Guiu, Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez, third-choice goalkeeper Ander Astralaga and Marc Casado forming a more timid group. Lamine Yamal and Cubarsi, as well as Fermin and Gavi, are believed to be particularly close due to their friendships formed at La Masia.
Roberto does have a strong frienship with some of Northern Europeans too, with Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Frenkie de Jong and more recently Andreas Christensen spending time together. In particular with ter Stegen, Gundogan and Robert Lewandowski are closest to this group.
Joao Cancelo tends to keep a close eye on Lamine Yamal and the rest of the group of youngsters, although his primary group consists of the Portuguese-speaking contingent, with Joao Felix, Vitor Roque and Raphinha. Araujo speaks fluent Portuguese too, and hangs out with the Latin Americans, in particular Raphinha.
After talk of tension between Araujo and Gundogan, fuelled by the Uruguayan’s words, the pair are set to talk out their differences on Friday. Xavi Hernandez will be hoping his squad are ‘more united than ever’ as Roberto put it yesterday when they head into El Clasico on Sunday night. Any hope of having a trophy to play for depends on three points at the Santiago Bernabeu.

It is football bro, that foul not for red card, Did you watch the match? I don't blame Araujo for this. Referee could have given yellow card.
I know.....but what I am saying is Araujo should have been more careful in that situation...... because now that he got a red....you really can't complain.....no one will listen......the foul was like that.....Barcola instantly used his head to get the benefits of the doubt

If the only hope for Barca is the three points at Bernabeu then they should start planning for next season with their dressing room division

I am just saying my own opinion here......I think Gundogan is right to criticize Araujo here.....but that's it.... Araujo should learn from his mistakes and make peace with it.....I mean he is repeating the same mistake....but after reading the article it seems like he is still showing his superior attitude...... anyway....but I am convinced about one thing.....if it was Messi instead of Gundogan..... things would have been calm.....I mean you don't dare show your attitude to the best....
