Young Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong has yet to experience winning a title with FC Barcelona, so a win in the early ElClasico clash will surely be a morale booster this season.
“In Barca, you just need to go for all the trophies,” said the 23-year-old midfielder.
De Jong admitted that last season was a “disappointment” for the Catalan club after falling behind Real Madrid in claiming the championship. (READ: Catch 2020 La Liga El Clasico in the Philippines)
In the last ElClasico in February, Barcelona also absorbed a painful 2-0 loss to the Blancos, which was a decisive match for the standings.
But with the Blaugrana hosting the ElClasico this time, De Jong hopes to bring back memories of his first rivalry match to keep him pumped for the game. (READ: 5 individual duels in October 2020 LaLiga ElClasico)
“We played at home last year in my first ElClasico and you feel like the game is just different compared to other games. You already know that the world is talking about the game weeks before,” shared the Dutchman. – Rappler.com
