After a horrible 2021 year, 2022 is off to a good start for FC Barcelona.
Xavi's team won Sunday night in Mallorca (0-1), thanks to a header from Luuk de Jong (44th).
The Dutch striker had previously touched wood twice in 30 seconds, first the left post then the crossbar, on a superb acrobatic recovery after half an hour of play.
Announced on the departure barely a few months after his arrival from Sevilla FC, de Jong allows Barça to move up to 5th place in La Liga. “The first objective of this season is to finish in a position to qualify for the Champions League, and today, we are at a point of this objective, calculates Xavi. This victory confirms our ideas and strengthens our project. It is precious, very precious. "
The Catalan coach, deprived of many players because of Covid-19, was also able to count on his goalkeeper Marc-André Ter Stegen, author of an exceptional save in stoppage time, to maintain the advantage.
“Marc saved us at the end, I'm very happy for him, for Luuk too, they saved us,” said the technician.
Luuk is an incredible professional.
He doesn't have a lot of playing time, but as he trains, as he sacrifices himself, he is a role model for the whole locker room.
“Not luxury given the context in which the Blaugrana bathe.
