Barcelona's Ilkay Gundogan denies problem with Real Madrid star – 'On the contrary, we get on well'

The relations between the players of Real Madrid and Barcelona have not been the center of attention in recent years, while previously the rivalry threatened to cause problems in the Spanish nation. This time, it was rumored that it could cause problems in the German national team, but Ilkay Gundogan he denied any problems with his Clasico counterpart Toni Kroos.

There have been rumors in Germany that Kroos' return to the national game, after announcing he was coming out of retirement ahead of the Euros this summer, might not have gone down well with everyone. As for SDZ, brought by ReliefGundogan as explained that the pair share a good relationship.

“Julian Nagelsmann had apparently heard here and there that Toni's return could be a problem for me, so he picked up the phone, called me and asked me directly. I immediately told him “I completely agree with this and I never had any problems with Toni. On the contrary, we value each other very much and we get along well.”

The pair will compete against each other in just over a month as they face off at the Santiago Bernabeu in the second Liga Clasico of the season. The arrival of Kroos probably means that one or two German midfielders, the position in which they are strongest, will leave the side. Many feel that Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich could be moved to right back because of this.
