Gordon scores his first goal for Barcelona and says it boosts his confidence

“It’s good for my confidence,” Gordon said after finding the net for FC Barcelona. The English winger scored his first goal for the club against Getafe, in a 3-0 victory. He needed only a few minutes to open his account.

Appreciated by the supporters and already credited with five assists for his teammates, Gordon had not scored before. His effort, struck from near the edge of the area, took a deflection off Martín to put FC Barcelona ahead. The forward was happy after the goal.

“I felt the supporters’ affection during the goal celebration,” he added. He also stressed the team’s priority: “The team always comes first.” Even when the ball did not go in, he said, he could go to bed calmly, knowing the goals would eventually come. He nevertheless said he had to stay focused to do it again.
