Barcelona midfielder Gundogan full of praise for teammates Yamal and Cubarsi

Barcelona midfielder Ilkay Gundogan is full of praise for young teammates Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi.

The teenage pair have been a revelation for Barca this season.

Gundogan told Sport: “Of course, it's a different generation, they grow up differently and you don't have the same mentality in many things, but honestly, I'm also learning from them, from their perspective.

“I love it when young people train or play, like Lamine or Pau, without thinking too much. They go out and play, and you think they don't feel the pressure, or they don't care about the pressure. And in fact, that is what it should be like. And that's why they are extraordinary, because they don't care. They know they're talented and they play.

“When I was sixteen or seventeen years old and they put me on the pitch, I was nervous not to make mistakes. I could even be a bit shy, but we need this freshness, and the squad is very proud that they help us so much."
