Frenkie de Jong was back in the starting XI for Barcelona on Thursday and impressing in the 3-0 win over over Villarreal.
The Dutchman took over from Sergio Busquets at the Camp Nou and will have given Xavi plenty to think about with a commanding performance.
De Jong spoke after the match and made it clear he doesn’t really care where he plays, he just wants to be on the pitch for Barcelona.
“After the bad results against Inter and Real Madrid, we needed to win,” he said.
“If you win games, there is a better atmosphere in the locker room and your morale goes up.
