Ilkay Gundogan gives Barça more reasons to bet on his signing

Although it did not mark neither it assisted, Ilkay Gündogan was, as it is used to to be it in important parties, one of the best of the Manchester City in the goleada in front of the Bayern Munich (3-0). The mediocentro German, one of the aims of the FC Barcelona for the summer, showed his quality and hierarchy in 90 minutes in where it knew to take advantage of the spaces conceded by the Bavarian defence to generate danger and keep the constant pressure on the contrary area that always demands Pep Guardiola to his directed.

The one of Gelsenkirchen had the first clear occasion of the party for the 'cityzens' thanks to a centre of Kevin Of Bruyne to the that could not give him direction to door of head. The ones of Thomas Tuchel also had some clear occasion during the first part, but the work of Gündogan, Bernardo Silva and Rodri gave fruits in the minute 27 thanks to the golazo of the mediocentro Spanish. Free of mark, the one of Madrid took out a zurdazo to the angle to open the marker and encarrilar a party very parejo until then.

Gündogan Completed 90 minutes to a very high level

In the second part, the Bavarians sank thanks to the errors of Dayot Upamecano and the hit of a City that well could have marked, even, a pair of so many more. Ilkay Kept in the centre of the field, supporting to Rodri and to Of Bruyne to ensure each possession 'sky blue' and, already with the party 2-0, the German was about to to achieve an assistance with a big pass to Julián Álvarez that allowed to the Argentinian finish with comfort, but Yann Sommer avoided the so much with a big cut across.

Erling Haaland Would convert minutes later the 3-0 that leaves practically sentencida the eliminatory. Faithful to his habit, Pep Guardiola kept to Gündogan all the party and only put to Álvarez by Of Bruyne to look for another goal in the final stretch of the party. For the Catalan technician, the imminent drop of the German will be difficult to compensate, but already has left clear that will not try to convince him to remain .

Gündogan, a player 'to the measure' of the Barça

With agreement until the next 30 June, the one of Gelsenkirchen can arrive with letter of freedom to the Barça, a team in which it would fit without problems. His capacity to occupy spaces, good foot and hit, in addition to the vision of game and the polivalencia to play like pivote or inner, would turn him into a key reinforcement for a midfield culé that prepares for the goodbye of Sergio Busquets.

In the 2022/23, Gündogan great 5 goals and 5 assistances in 41 parties in all the competitions, statistics underneath of the average showed in the last seasons. However, performances like the one of the Tuesday in front of the Bayern show that it keeps on being a player 'top' to his 32 years, in plenitud of conditions and with the sufficient maturity as to surrender in any 'big' of Europe.
