Anthony Gordon was in awe of Barcelona's performance during their Champions League match against Newcastle United. He believed that they were on a whole different level compared to any Premier League team, including powerhouses like Arsenal and Liverpool.
The game was a tense one, with Marcus Rashford's two brilliant goals giving Barcelona the lead at St James' Park. Gordon managed to pull one back for Newcastle in the 90th minute, setting up a thrilling finish. However, Barcelona's dominance on the ball and their class shone through, leaving little room for a comeback from Newcastle.
Speaking to beIN Sports after the game, Gordon expressed his admiration for Barcelona's possession-based style of play. He admitted that it was a learning experience for him and his team, as they rarely face such a high level of technical ability in the Premier League.
Gordon also mentioned that he and his teammates were used to a more physical style of play, but Barcelona's fluid movement and combination play made it difficult for them to press and regain possession. He gave credit to the Catalan side for their impressive performance.
The interviewer pointed out that it was hard to imagine any team keeping possession for almost the entire injury time, especially after conceding a goal. To this, Gordon replied, "No, neither do I." He acknowledged that Barcelona's passing and midfield play were on another level and made it challenging for Newcastle to come back.
Meanwhile, Rashford, who joined Barcelona on loan from Manchester United, scored his first goal for the club. Gordon was full of praise for his teammate, stating that he had been through a tough time in the past year and deserved the success. He also mentioned that Rashford was a top player on his day and had the potential to be one of the best in the world.
In the end, Gordon congratulated Rashford on his two amazing goals and expressed his happiness for him. He also invited readers to leave their comments on the game, showing his sportsmanship and respect for the opposition.
