Anthony Gordon criticized by Barcelona fan as English Garnacho following PSG loss
Anthony Gordon is facing mounting scrutiny from Barcelona supporters following a disappointing performance in their Champions League defeat against Paris Saint-Germain, according to Chronicle Live. The former Newcastle United winger struggled to impact the match, failing to complete any of his three attempted dribbles and winning just one of nine duels.
The display prompted criticism online, with one supporter writing on X:
“I miss when I still had a reliable left winger in my team. Now I’m stuck with white English Garnacho. #Rashford”
Another fan remarked: “If we’re being honest, Rashford is still the better option for Barcelona than Gordon, who is struggling to do even the basics. … Rashford could at least get shots away and create problems for defenders, while Gordon’s decision-making and passing have been frustrating to watch.”
However, others defended the England international. One fan wrote: “With just one game, you all are already rating him down; what inconsistent fans.” Another added: “It’s too early to tell. Gordon fits Hansi Flick’s style more; he’s a pressing machine.”
