Ilkay Gundogan’s wife Sara has sent out a pretty strong message on social media after her husband was critical of his Barcelona team-mates after defeat to PSG.
The midfielder gave a lengthy interview after the game where he suggested Ronald Araujo made a mistake in challenging Bradley Barcola and was also unhappy with his team’s defending for Vitinha’s goal.
Sara Gundogan has now had her say and insists her husband was giving his opinion in a bid to help the team as he has a “treble mentality.”
“This man is a guy who works hard, and his football opinions are about improving and he is giving everything to this team… His mentality is a treble mentality,” she wrote on Instagram.
Gundogan isn’t the only person to have criticised Barca after the game. Thierry Henry also hit out at Ronald Araujo and Joao Cancelo for their performances.
Araujo has since apologised to supporters on social media, with his post drawing a flurry on positive responses from his team-mates.
