News about Ilkay Gundogan

DANNY MURPHY: I have genuine concerns that an unprecedented fourth league title in a row for City won't be the end of it. Win it again on Sunday and it could go on to become five, six or seven, and that is not good for the competition. City could have been vulnerable this season. They must have been fatigued by last season's Treble, lost their captain Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne suffered a long-term injury on the opening day. Erling Haaland barely played in December or January because of another injury.

JACK GAUGHAN: Former Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart will be an addition to the BBC's Euro 2024 punditry team this summer as he begins life post-retirement. Hart, 37, has been snapped up by the Beeb to work with Gary Lineker and Co in Germany after announcing he's hanging up his gloves at the end of the season. There has also been interest from Premier League Productions to work for them next season as they beam games around the world.

Ilkay Gundogan and Ronald Araujo have made peace after the former Man City captain's comments that reportedly created a rift in the Blaugrana dressing room. Germany international Gundogan offered an honest and scathing assessment of his side's performance in their Champions League quarter-final second leg defeat by Paris Saint-Germain. The Catalan giants carried a goal advantage into the home leg, having won 3-2 in Paris, but fell to a 4-1 defeat after seeing an early red card, and crashed out 6-4 on aggregate.

Ronald Araujo offered a blunt response to Barcelona team-mate Ilkay Gundogan's comments that his red card had 'killed the game' against Paris Saint-Germain which saw Xavi Hernandez's side knocked out of the Champions League. The Catalan hosts were leading 3-2 on aggregate before scoring in the 12th minute to give them an important cushion, but momentum began to shift when the Uruguay international was sent off for fouling Bradley Barcola. Down to 10 men, the Blaugrana were unable to stem the tide of goals from Ousmane Dembele, Vitinha and Kylian Mbappe to see them fail to win a spot in the competition's semi-finals. 

Ilkay Gundogan's wife has added fuel to the fire of Barcelona's dressing room split after his brutal criticism of team-mates following their Champions League exit. The Catalan giants crashed out of the Champions League when they lost 4-1 to Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their quarter-final clash on Tuesday night. Afterwards, German midfielder Gundogan refused to hold back in a television interview as he criticised Ronald Araujo for getting himself sent off and Joao Cancelo for conceding a penalty.

Ilkay Gundogan's brutal criticism of his Barcelona team-mates can be narrowed down to three chief culprits - but some in the dressing room are said to agree with him. The Catalan giants crashed out of the Champions League when they lost 4-1 to Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their quarter-final clash on Tuesday night. That came after Barcelona returned from Paris with a 3-2 advantage, that was then increased through Raphinha's early goal.

Ilkay Gundogan hit out at his Barcelona team-mates following their disappointing performance against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night. The Catalan giants crashed out of the Champions League after losing 4-1 to PSG in the second leg of their quarter-final clash.  Barcelona entered the tie at the Nou Camp 3-2 ahead and increased their advantage through Raphinha in the 12th minute of the game. 

PETE JENSON: Barcelona's incredible revival after Xavi announced that he was leaving early this season continued apace with a 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid. Diego Simeone's side had only lost two points a home all season and were on a high after their epic victory over Inter Milan on Wednesday night, but the second half was a tumultuous and confused mess as they tried and failed to respond to Joao Felix's opening goal. Barcelona took the lead on 38 minutes, but it had to be him who had scored it. The Portuguese forward has been contracted to Atletico until 2029, but will never be welcomed back. Every touch was whistled both before and after he calmly converted from Robert Lewandowski's brilliant cross after a burst run from Ilkay Gundogan.

PETE JENSON: It's all about the celebrations that came after the third goal was announced - immense relief. Barcelona advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League for the first time in four years thanks to a 3-1 home second leg victory over Napoli, who lost 4-2 on aggregate. When Sergio Roberto played a one-two with Ilkay Gundogan inside the penalty box and then squared for Robert Lewandowski to score, it seemed that the whole Barça bench was on the field to mob the goalscorer. Hector Fort had been warming up on the sidelines, but he was in the middle of it. Irgo Martinez was seated on the bench with Marc Guiu, but both were ushered into the huddle to participate in the festivities. Xavi hugged his teaching staff in the technology field. This wasn't just Barcelona's going through; they were still alive and earning around 10 million euros in the process - funds were also desperately needed to protect the wolf's excessive wage bill from the door.

CHRIS WHEELER: It's just that now isn't a good time for Manchester United to be comparing themselves against the 'noisy neighbors,' to use another term that Ratcliffe borrowed from Sir Alex Ferguson when he spoke to the media last week. The Ineos billionaire is using City as his blueprint to rebuild United, and it's easy to see why. Omar Berrada has already been drafted from around town with the intention of obtaining a black badge, and United's new chief executive is unlikely to be the first one with a blue background.

The title race hung firmly in the balance when Mo Salah came late in Liverpool's match against Wolves on the final day of the 2021/22 season. Jurgen Klopp's side came a point behind Manchester City in the Premier League, and they would need to do well the Citizens' result in order to win their second Premier League title. On the day, both teams fell behind, with City beating Aston Villa 2-0 thanks to Rodri's goal and an Ilkay Gundogan brace.

Women and girlfriends have opened the lid on what it's really like to be in their shoes, and they've all agreed that their lives aren't as straightforward as they appear in a recent fly-on-the-wall documentary that they're not as pleasant as they seem. 'Married to the Game,' a Amazon Prime Video documentary that gives insight into the lives of lavish parties and luxurious holidays, huge mansions, and designer clothing - and viewers have dubbed the show 'TV gold' and 'class.'

Fans are raving after the introduction of a new Amazon show, with Jorginho's reaction when his partner asked if he was going to propose. Married To The Game has been providing inside information on wives and girlfriends of some of football's most popular celebrities, including Cat Harding, who has been following the Arsenal superstar since 2020. When getting ready for an event with Harding, the Champions League and Euro 2020 champion discovered himself off the field, as shown in the film.

Taylor Ward, Riyadh Mahrez's wife, and Ilkay Gundogan's partner, Sara Gundogan, have shared more of how the two former Man City actors arrived and how they felt when they decided to move to Saudi Arabia and Barcelona respectively. Catherine Harding, Arsenal's fiancée, reveals the glamorous aspect of being a WAG, particularly when she uses her husband's hyperbaric oxygen chamber to aid her in recovering from a facial. Everton defender James Tarkowski and his partner Sam Gray also appear in the film, including how they hosted a three-day wedding in Provence, where they surprised their guests with none other than singer Craig David. Matt Turner and his partner Ash are the last couple on the documentary. Ash, who is eight months pregnant, admits that 'life was relatively straightforward' before her husband went from the United States to Premier League.

The life of a WAG could be anything but fantasy, from luxury holidays and VIP experiences galore to virtually infinite spending power. Yet, it isn't all it's cracked up to be... That's at least according to the partner's three top footballers' comments on the job, from the pressures of matches and the 'emotional rollercoaster' of moving abroad to having to allow their own careers to take precedence. Taylor Ward, Riyad Mahrez's husband, is one of the stars of Married To The Game, a show that focuses on the lives of footballer's wives and will be shown on Prime Video from February. Elle Gundogan, the wife of Manchester City's midfielder, appears in the film alongside fellow WAGs Cat Harding, fiancee of Arsenal player Jorginho, and Sara Gundogan, fiancee of Arsenal midfielder Jorginho and Sara Gundogan.

Exclusive INTERVIEW BY WILL PICKWORTH: Sara Gundogan has admitted she was taken by surprise when she discovered out Ilkay Gundogan was joining Barcelona last summer. Sara Arfaoui, a student at the University of Barcelona, began dating the Barcelona and Germany star in 2021, a year later. Kaiss, their one son, was born in March 2023, has been their joint son. Sara is one of the stars of Prime Video's latest film Married To The Game, which follows five football WAGS, aiming to give an insight into the reality of dating a top-level footballer.

Exclusive INTERVIEW BY WILL PICKWORTH (British): Sara Gundogan has talked about the sacrifices she has made since being a WAG and the effect it has had on her life. Before deciding a year later, Gundogan, previously Sara Arfaoui, began dating Barcelona and Germany actress Ilkay Gundogan. Kaiss, their son who was born in March 2023, was their first child together. She is one of the stars of Prime Video's latest series Married To The Game, which follows five football WAGS players, with the intention of giving an insight into the reality of dating a top-level footballer.

PETE JENSON: Former Manchester City forward Brahim Diaz shone for Real Madrid, but the team's injury-plagued defense conceded to a late penalty, putting them only two points ahead of next week's top-two clash against Girona. Barça descended on Xavi's Barça, a young Brazilian who later saw the red. Marcelino did not mince his words when explaining why he hooked Sorloth at halftime, and he didn't mince his words elsewhere. oh, and a Sevilla player was touched up while attempting to get a throw-in (yes, that really happened). Here are ten things we learned from LaLiga.

PETE JENSON: Underappreciated and then slashed, Spain and Barça's legendary Xavi had no intention of visiting Barcelona. The club has form for chewing up and spitting out its stars, but the 44-year-old, who won every aspect of the game for club and country, is now in danger of being remembered more for his comical last season at the club he adores than for his numerous trophies. It's long been established that he is not Pep Guardiola's second coming. He isn't a visionary nor does he have the same lightning quick mental skills to switch games from the touchline. But he still won La Liga last season, Barcelona's first without Lionel Messi, and who's to say it won't be their last game for a long time. He made the biggest mistake not to use that triumph to build a power base within the club. He should have laid down markers having won the trophy, but instead, he allowed others at the club to make all the changes.

Jules Kounde, a Barcelona defender, was reportedly broken into while playing against Villarreal on Saturday night. Barcelona lost 5-3 at home to Villarreal as Kounde played the entire game. According to RAC 1, a 'robbery with power' struck Kounde's house.'

Following their 5-3 loss to Villarreal at home, Barcelona made a costly mistake by playing 'Yellow' by Coldplay over their PA system. Despite being 3-2 up in the 84th minute, Xavi's side became more frustrated as they lost. To make it worse, the PA system at the Estadi Olmpic Llu's Companys screamed "Yellow" after the game, presumably not taking into account that Villarreal are known as "The Yellow Submarine."
