Barca 'still missing' the Champions League despite La Liga triumph: De Jong
FC Barcelona have secured their 29th league title after a commanding 2-0 victory over Real Madrid. This 'Clasico' transformed into a Blaugrana celebration, as the Catalan giants dictated the tempo at will, occasionally showing leniency towards a rival that has appeared toothless in recent weeks.
Amidst the post-match jubilations, Frenkie De Jong took a moment to reflect on the triumph, emphasizing the relentless effort invested throughout the campaign.
"We are very happy. While every trophy is special, this one feels particularly significant. To clinch it at home against Real Madrid is incredible; we must savour this moment with our fans," the Dutchman remarked. Nonetheless, the midfielder was candid about the fact that the club's ambitions extend beyond Spanish borders.
"We have been the best team in Spain for another season, but we are missing the Champions League. We are desperate to win it, and next year we will go for it again," he asserted.
To conclude, De Jong lauded Hansi Flick for his exceptional impact during his two seasons at the helm. "Flick has very clear ideas, yet he grants the players immense freedom within that structure, allowing us to truly showcase our quality," he finished.
