Barcelona’s Dutch international Frenkie De Jong expressed his relief that his club Barcelona was able to win again following a string of negative results.

Barcelona secured their first victory against Villarreal in La Liga on Thursday after 2 games of negative results versus Inter Milan and Real Madrid.

“After poor results against Inter and Real Madrid, we had to win against Villarreal. This 3-0 win helps us to feel happy again. I am happy about the victory,” said the Barcelona player to Spanish broadcaster Movistar via FCInterNews.

After missing the first UEFA Champions League game in Milano, where Inter Milan won 1-0 at San Siro on October, Frankie De Jong played 26 minutes in the return fixture on October 12 at the Camp Nou in Barcelona.

The Dutch international inspired a Blaugrana comeback that allowed Barcelona to rescue a point Inter Milan to delay possible qualification to the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

Inter Milan are set to play Viktoria Plzen on Wednesday, October 26 at 18:45 CET in Milano at the Stadio San Siro, as a win against the Czech side will secure qualification for the next round of the UEFA Champions League.
