Newcastle's wing-back Anthony Gordon expressed his admiration for Barcelona players' ball control skills. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
On Thursday, in a match held in England, the Catalans defeated the "Ninety-Fours" 2-1. Marcus Rashford scored both goals.
For the hosts, only Anthony Gordon's goal was a mark of respect for the result. In a post-match interview, Gordon said that the opponent's playing style amazed him.
He acknowledged that the players have a very high level of ball control. "Honestly, we haven't faced many players with such a level of ball control.
Of course, we have played against Manchester City and Chelsea, but they weren't this good either," said Gordon. In the second round of the Champions League group stage, Eddie Howe's Newcastle will play against Union Saint-Gilloise.
At the same time, Barcelona will face PSG. These matches will determine the teams' chances of advancing to the next stage.
