De Jong Since I was a child I dreamed of playing in El Clasico

Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong has shared his excitement ahead of the La Liga Round of 26 clash with Real Madrid. The Catalans have a 9-point lead over their arch-rivals in the title race.

"Since I was a child, I dreamed of playing for Barca in El Clasico. Real Madrid have a lot of quality players who are cohesive and extremely dangerous when counter-attacking. It will be difficult to stop them, but we will try", commented De Jong.

"Our goal is to win the game. This is the most important match not only for Barca fans but also for us players. If we win, it will make me very happy. I'm literally burning with desire for the fight to start," said the Dutchman.
