Anthony Gordon has divided Barcelona supporters following a quiet display in their Champions League defeat against Paris Saint-Germain. Some fans criticized his performance, with one supporter on social media labeling the former Newcastle United winger an "English Garnacho" and others expressing a preference for Marcus Rashford.
