Real Madrid midfielder Fernando Gago seems to be pushing himself out of the club after declaring Barcelona are far superior to his side.

The Argentine midfielder is expected to leave the club in the summer after several injuries in the past two seasons restricted him to just a peripheral role at the club.

Gago recently indicated he would not make a decision on his future before talking to coach Jose Mourinho, but his latest remarks will certainly not go down well at Real Madrid, as he praised his club's arch-rivals.

"Barcelona are the best team in history. They are well above Real Madrid and the fans do not want to admit it," Gago told ESPN Argentina.

Gago, who moved to Real Madrid in 2006 for €20.4 million, has been linked with a move to his former club, Boca Juniors.

BOOM.

THAT

JUST

HAPPENED



Gago's got balls of steel.

if this is a truth, why not to admit it?

Because even the strongest team can be dethroned, in theory.

I think it saying the "fans do not want to admit it" is like giving up without a fight.
Its basically saying that since FCB are better than us, we should not be blamed for losing against them. Despite the gulf in ability not being that huge. Especially since weak teams defeat stronger teams every day.

Gago is humble and respectful.

mine, you can admit your rival are better than yours

but in the same time, you should work harder or work smarter to compete with them in the next season

admitting defeat before the match is no way to begin working harder. I think Gago is just angry for not getting enough playing time. And with this attitude, I can see why.

self admitting is of course, another thing. However, it also needs to be a positive admittance i.e "my rival is better than me now, but if I bust my ass off, I bet I could defeat him"

Gago earn respect before you give disrespect. Who is this dude to talk, hes warming the bench. I can't believe some of you actually rate him, as a DM and even a deep lying playmaker his defensive frailties are shocking.

Gago is just stating the Obvious,so what your problem with that??
sure he is not trying to find any excuses for the lost to Barca and i respect him for that and btw he didn't say that the situation couldn't change in the Future !!!

so long, he can take his injuries to another team

That's the end of Gago in RM. I hope he doesn't look back .

Gago is my new idol

Mmmm... how refreshing.

While I don't think this is something you say against your own team....... am I the only one seeing a semblance of truth in it?

Yes guys I know it stings, but sadly for you... the truth usually does.

In the "very near" future, I foresee Gago leaving Madrid under a "heavy" police escort.

And btw, if this quote is even remotely close to true, it'll definitely be sig worthy.

Go on son! Tell 'em how you really feel... Lmfao!!!

smartest thing he ever did, look at the situation he's in
hes got the class to play to start for an upper mid table side every week right now and if given game time the potential to be one of the best in the world
ATM though he's the perfect squad player for RM and as far as anyone at RM is concerned he's doing a good job off the bench and thus they wont let him leave
so the only way he'll ever get out of RM to get the game time he deserves is when his contract experiences or if he can force his way out of the club, and clearly he's taking the latter option
IMO he should take a bow, well done

What are you talking about?

the guy is getting paid for sitting on his ass in the infirmary for two seasons now.

you sound like we buried him on the bench, keep on with the cliches. forcing his way out? RM NEVER force people to stay, lol, he is getting good money for doing nothing, that's why he is there.

Gago cost 20m?

Well, I actually understand why Madrid fans are annoyed by this.

Its one thing thinking this, but saying it....

I guess he already knows he is out of the door though, so he doesnt care.

Talented player, I hope Malaga or a big club pick him up. Toulalan and Gago in Malaga's midfield

Smart Gago

lol@ op probably ment gaga...

"Last season, the fans thought we could finish above them, but it was impossible."


What the frick. How can he rule out Real Madrid just like that???? Why the flip is he even playing for us if he already knows that Real Madrid would lose? Clearly only there for the money.

The Point is that he is not playing for RM *lol*
btw:
he wanted to go Man City or something, but RM blocked the Transfer so he can sit on the Bench, so what is your Problem with him being paid for sitting on the bench, it is not like it is his fault..
