The wife of Barcelona player Ilkay Gundogan, Sarah, sparked widespread controversy with a post on her Instagram account that was malicious to the fans of the Catalan club, which exited the Champions League in the quarter-finals by losing the second leg 1-4 despite winning the first leg 3-2.
Sarah defended her husband, saying: “This man is a hardworking man, and his football views are for development. He gives everything to this team. His mentality is the three-way mentality,” accompanying the comment with a picture of Gundogan raising the Champions League trophy last season!
The Barcelona players had held a grudge against Gundogan after the latter’s statements about the responsibility for the loss to Paris Saint-Germain and placing it entirely on Uruguayan defender Araujo.
It is noteworthy that Gundogan’s wife later responded to pressure from her friends and deleted the post after it sparked widespread controversy.
