Slavia Prague goalkeeper Ondřej Kolar admits he was left ‘disappointed’ by some Barcelona players following their 0-0 Champions League draw on Tuesday.
Despite heading into the game as favourites, Barça failed to create anything of note with pressure continuing to mount on manager Ernesto Valverde.
Kolar – who enjoyed a standout individual performance – was singled out for praise by opposite number Marc-André ter Stegen, but was later snubbed by many of his team-mates.
“Ter Stegen was waiting for me inside the tunnel,” he told Goal. “He praised my goalkeeping performance and said it was a pleasure to watch me play well with my feet.
“He waited for me after the match, which I take as the ultimate award. To hear such praise from such a good goalkeeper, I had goosebumps.
“It was an amazing experience, but some of the other players… Messi and the others just left – some of them didn’t even shake our hands.
“It was disappointing. We were all looking forward to meeting these big players, we wanted to swap jerseys after the match, but they didn’t behave very well.”
Barcelona return to domestic action Celta Vigo on Saturday.
