Last night, Barcelona kicked off their UEFA Champions League first game with a 5-0 victory against Antwerp. The team, along with players like Joao Felix, Robert Lewandowski, and Frenkie de Jong, showed their aggressive intent from the moment they got the football. As a result, they produced one of the best results of UEFA Champions League Matchday 1.
One thing happened last night when Barcelona’s coach Xavi was asked about his thoughts on a contract extension for Frenkie de Jong. He said,
“Of course, I’d extend his contract with my eyes closed – we have to do it.”
He also concluded that he is a key player for Barcelona and is in the best moment of his career.
In return, the same question was asked of de Jong: whether he wanted to stay with the club or not. And he replied,
“My agent takes care of my deal, but I’m happy in Barcelona.”
He also said, I love the club and want to stay with them. Also Read:Â Jaw-Dropping Moment: Lazio’s Goalkeeper Ivan Provedel Scores and Joins an Exclusive List
