Arrival, solidity, dominance... Great afternoon for Gündogan despite the defeat
Ílkay Gündogan was key for FC Barcelona in its best moments in the Clásico against Real Madrid, but he was left without resources after the barrage of changes that 'punished' the Blaugrana
It will be necessary to see how reorganises the centre of the field Xavi Hernández when they are back Frenkie of Jong and Pedri González, that could be during the next week. And it is that, before the urgencies and low constants, in the FC Barcelona have found an ideal couple in the centre of the field that can be key in this season: Gavi and Ílkay Gündogan, those who have been key to surpass, at least by an hour, to the Real Madrid in the Classical.

It coincided with the best minutes of the Barça and noticed the difference when the trainer egarense took out to Fermín López of the field to give entry to a discussed Oriol Romeu that happened to act more like pivote. Gavi Changed of role, left to shine Gündogan and the Barcelona lost the reins of the party.
The performance of Gündogan, exceptional
It foresees that Xavi will remain with the well and will begin to work, from now on, from there. It knows that the experience that contributes the ex of the Manchester City is vital and that, between more find him, more decisive can be without mattering the role that award him. Today it showed it in the Classical, put although it was incrustrado in the base of the played, gave loose rein to one of his specialitys to open the marker when so alone had passed six minutes of party.
And it is that Gündogan was the one who began and finished the played with which the Barça put the 1-0 and benefited of the distraction of the defence of the Real Madrid. It threw a wall with Ferran Torres, touched Aurelién Tchouameni so that it cleared David Praises, but the Austrian was not hit in the coverage and did not reach to clear to time. The midfield player read magistralmente the played and advanced to hunt the rebound and mark to pleasure in front of Kepa that it already was sold.
Gündogan, called to be followed leading to the Barça
It was one of the tantísimas proofs of all what can and is contributing Gündogan to this Barça. It is comporting as one of the big leaders of the team, especially in the middle of the plague of injuries by which is crossing the picture culé. Now, when they return Pedri and Frenkie, will remain to see how deliver all the roles, especially because Fermín López and Gavi are called to be headlines. There is not how seat them.
