Barcelona presented Ilkay Gundogan as a new player at the club on Monday in a ceremony on the pitch that was followed by a press conference.
There was also a surprise for Sara Gundogan’s, the midfielder’s wife, who was celebrating her birthday.
Although her husband was the main attraction, Barcelona president Joan Laporta made sure the occasion did not go unnoticed by producing a birthday cake.
Laporta then joined in with a version of Happy Birthday as those gathered wished Sara well on her special day.
