FC Barcelona fans are really excited to see the team being coached by Hansi Flick next season since the German manager impressed by making Bayern Munich one of the best teams in Europe. Flick is looking at the potential players to stay at the club while he also looks at potential signings that the club will afford. It will be a new beginning for Barcelona this summer, and Flick will get to see which players will be useful for him ahead of the next season. Some fans believe that he may have issues with one of their players after he made some compliments to the club's rival, Real Madrid. Ilkay Gundogan spoke highly about Real Madrid, and his words upset Barcelona fans. Gundogan said, "If you look at Real Madrid, the most successful team in the last decade and even longer, how they never felt afraid and always kept their calm, this is amazing. You must realize when you should actually punish the opponent, otherwise you will be punished quickly."
Although his words praise Real Madrid, some Barcelona fans notice the German player's honesty and demand more from him and his teammates ahead of next season. Flick coached Gundogan in the German national team for 19 matches. Under Flick, Gundogan scored six goals and provided one assist with Germany. Gundogan scored in the 2022 World Cup in the 2-1 loss against Japan.
The midfielder only played a total of four matches in the World Cup throughout his career, adm. In the 2022 World Cup, Flick played in all three matches of the group stages. Gundogan now has an even bigger role in the national team as he played and started all of Germany's three matches in the group stage of EURO 2024 as the captain. So far, the Barcelona midfielder has one goal and has provided two assists. Today, Germany will take on Denmark in the Round of 16, with Gundogan expected to start the journey to win an international trophy for the first time in his career.
Despite Ilkay Gundogan showing quality on the pitch for Germany, FC Barcelona is very concerned about him in the EUROS. According to Mundo Deportivo, FC Barcelona is worried about the number of matches Ilkay Gündogan has played this season. He's already on 64 and could play up to 68 if Germany reaches the Euros final. Germany is one of the favorites to win this tournament after topping Group A with seven points.
Gundogan played a total of 51 matches with FC Barcelona across all competitions. This includes 35 La Liga matches, 10 UEFA Champions League matches, three Copa Del Rey matches and two Spanish Super Cup matches. In between the seasons, he also represented the German national team in friendly matches to prepare for the Euros.
