Gordon insists Barca are on a par with PSG, Real Madrid

Barcelona winger Anthony Gordon has stated that his team are not below Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Real Madrid, despite recent losses to both clubs. Barcelona signed Gordon from Newcastle in the summer for a potential fee of US$89 million. The Spanish champions' last European Cup triumph was in 2015, raising doubts about their ability to perform at the highest level.

Gordon emphasized that Barcelona must accept responsibility for their two recent defeats, including a 4-2 loss to PSG on October 20th and a 2-1 home loss to Real Madrid on October 25th. He attributed the defeats to the fact that PSG rested their entire team during the weekend, while Barcelona did not have the same advantage. Gordon further claimed that Barcelona deserved to win the Clasico, which was ultimately won by Real Madrid with a late goal from Kylian Mbappe.

The Barcelona forward also expressed his belief that his team was the better side in the Clasico, having dominated possession and creating more scoring opportunities. Despite conceding two poor goals, Gordon felt that his team were playing at their best level, which ultimately cost them the match. He expressed excitement about facing tough opponents like PSG and Atletico Madrid in the near future and emphasized his commitment to improving his performance.
