🎥 Gordon: I speak Spanish, I thought I'd play for Barça as a kid | OneFootball

England’s Anthony Gordon was presented today as a new FC Barcelona player and surprised everyone from the very first minute with fluent Spanish which, as he explained, he has been working on since childhood. The reason: he always believed he would end up playing for the blaugrana club.

"I speak Spanish because since I was a child I believed I would end up playing for Barça. There’s also a Spanish physio at Newcastle and I’ve practiced with him," he explained, to the surprise of everyone present.

Few footballers arrive at a club already knowing the language before anyone has even signed them. It contrasts, for example, with Hansi Flick, who still always gives his press conferences in English despite having lived in Barcelona for two years.

When asked about his goals, Gordon chose the Champions League. "If I have to choose one title, I’d like to win the sixth Champions League."
