Gündogan under fire from Barça fans for his confidences to Arda Güler

Barça midfielder Ilkay Gündogan has recently sparked controversy among several supporters of the Catalan club.

In a friendly match in the United States, FC Barcelona faced Real Madrid and won 2-1. At the end of the match, Ilkay Gündogan chatted for a few minutes with Arda Güler, a Real Madrid player. This conversation was not well received by the Barcelona fans. The two players reportedly talked about a teammate of Gündogan who came on 15 minutes before the end of the match.

Although a German international, Ilkay Gündogan has Turkish origins and speaks Turkish fluently, just like his opponent this evening, Arda Güler.

It was in this language that the two players allegedly exchanged mocking remarks, insinuating that one player was “not using his brain”. This remark provoked a strong reaction among Barça fans.
