🚨 Daniel Marty (physiotherapist in Newcastle) on Anthony Gordon's obsession with Barcelona at Newscastle
"Anthony was genuinely obsessed with Barcelona. I'm not exaggerating when I say it came up almost every week. A lot of players support clubs growing up, but with Gordon it felt different. He would ask questions about Barcelona, about the city, the culture, the language, the players. He even started learning bits of Spanish because he always believed that one day he'd end up there.
In the dressing room at Newcastle, he'd randomly walk around chanting 'Visca el Barça, Visca Catalunya' and everyone would laugh because it came completely out of nowhere. The lads used to tease him about it all the time, but he didn't care. He embraced it. Whenever Barcelona were playing, he'd be watching. Whenever someone mentioned Spanish football, he'd join the conversation immediately.
What impressed me most was that it wasn't just admiration from afar. He genuinely studied the club, its history and its style of play. He spoke about Barcelona as if it was a place he was destined to be one day. Most footballers have dream clubs when they're young, but usually that fades as their careers progress. With Anthony, it never did. Even as he established himself in the Premier League, that dream remained exactly the same. Barcelona was always the club he talked about the most." 🔵🔴
