Ilkay Gundogan has become a scourge for Barcelona whenever the team comes up with a mediocre performance.

Gundogan notably pointed out Ronald Araujo’s mistake and raised eyebrows by openly pointing out flaws in the team’s performance.

Gundogan, for his part, though, is quite surprised by the controversy that has spread following his comments on the PSG performance, reports Diario SPORT.
The player’s entourage maintains that Gundogan had no intention of pointing out anyone, much less a teammate.
Gundogan and Araujo to meet on Friday
Much of Gundogan’s criticism was veiled towards Ronald Araujo, whose red card killed Barcelona’s chances of maintaining their slender lead against PSG.
During his new book presentation, Araujo was asked about Gundogan’s comments, but the player refused to comment.
Now, the report suggests that Gundogan plans to meet Araujo on Friday’s training session and sort out any potential tension between the two.
Gundogan does not want the controversy to turn into something big. Since the defeat, the two haven’t had the chance to talk face-to-face. But we can expect the matter to be resolved on Friday.
