'Foolish to claim one foul decided the world's biggest game' - Arda Turan angered by Clasico criticism

Barcelona midfielder Arda Turan feels he has been unfairly blamed for his side's La Liga draw with Real Madrid at the start of December.

The Turkey international conceded a free-kick late on for a clumsy foul on Marcelo, with Sergio Ramos netting the equaliser from the subsequent set-piece.

Arda received his fair share of criticism for his foul in the aftermath of the game, but he feels it would be 'foolish' to put all of the blame on him.

"There was a lot of criticism regarding the foul I conceded in the last minutes of the game against Real Madrid, but it is foolish to claim that one foul decided the world's biggest game," Arda told AA.
