Ferran Jutgla sends classy message about Barcelona before La Liga game

FC Barcelona are set to take on Celta Vigo in La Liga later this weekend. A trip away to the La Liga side is not an easy proposition, and in recent years, Iago Aspas has proved a thorn in the Catalan club’s side.

One former Barcelona player who plays for Celta is Ferran Jutgla. He was signed in the summer from Club Brugge. Since his move, he has settled in quite well and is in line for a starting berth against his former employers.

Jutgla broke through at Barcelona during Xavi Hernandez’s early days as manager, but he did not get a fair run. He showed flashes of goal-scoring brilliance and has gone on to build a decent career for himself.

In an interview, as quoted by SPORT, Jutgla spoke on a host of topics, including whether he would celebrate if he scored against Barcelona. Here is what he had to say:

“Goals are a reason for joy, but I have enormous respect for Barça, because it was the club that gave me my start. I’ve never been in this situation before, but I don’t think I would celebrate.”

“When you score, there’s adrenaline. But I’m very grateful to the clubs that have raised me and given me opportunities. Barça is one of them, and I wouldn’t celebrate out of respect.”

Jutgla’s words reflect the player he is. His sporting desire to beat Barcelona burns bright, but he also understands the respect he owes the club where he first made a name for himself, and he does not want to celebrate.

The 26-year-old admitted he would have liked a chance at Barcelona and would be keen to prove a point against the Catalan club. He is similar to Ferran Torres in many ways and is a player the defence needs to be wary of.

From a Barcelona perspective, let’s hope the team manages to stop Jutgla or any Celta player from scoring and secure the three points at Balaidos.
