Prior to the match against Real Madrid, Barcelona player Frenkie de Jong said, “I think we can win 4-0 again, but the match will be difficult.”
“We must demonstrate that we are still a strong team. Although we haven’t yet watched Madrid’s analysis video, I believe they are undefeated so far this season.
We are naturally unhappy following the Inter match, but we need to shift our perspective and eagerly anticipate the Clasico.

Barcelona won 4-0 the last time they went to the Santiago Bernabeu, but the outcome had no bearing on the title battle.
However, given that Los Blancos are in considerably better shape this time around, we cannot anticipate a recurrence of that result.
Recall that Frenkie de Jong, a target for Manchester United, is apparently dissatisfied with his life at Barcelona and may be prepared to leave the Camp Nou at this time.
The 25-year-old Dutch master was Erik ten Hag’s top target during the summer transfer window, but despite the Red Devils and Barcelona agreeing on a £70 million transfer fee, De Jong was not interested in leaving his longtime partner Mikky Kiemeney.
The Spanish powerhouses were eager to remove De Jong from their payroll due to Barca’s dwindling finances. Boss Xavi even gave him an ultimatum: either accept a sizable pay cut or find a new team.
