The Pole ambled out towards Vitinha after a short corner was taken and the midfielder lined up his shot. Post-match, a disappointed Gundogan openly criticized his teammates, holding them accountable for the team’s performance. He expressed his frustration over losing control of the game after taking the lead and giving the advantage to Paris Saint-Germain in a simple manner.

Gundogan also discussed Araujo’s sending off, suggesting that his teammate should have let Barcola take the shot instead of risking an early dismissal, emphasizing the need to secure the ball in crucial moments. He expressed disappointment over allowing Vitinha to take an uncontested shot, implying that the blame lies with Barca’s No.9 for not challenging the play as trained. Gundogan’s public criticism of his teammates is not a new occurrence since joining the Blaugrana last summer.

This is not the first time he has openly expressed disappointment in his team’s performance.
