‘It’s very important’ - Frenkie de Jong makes Barcelona demand ahead of Atletico clash

Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is in bullish mood ahead of Sunday’s huge La Liga clash against Atletico Madrid.

Both teams are still in the hunt for the title and know that a victory would be a huge boost to their chances of finishing top of the pile come May.

Atletico beat Barcelona earlier in the season at Montjuic, and De Jong knows his side face a very difficult game on Sunday.

“We’re arriving well, we’re in good form. We’re playing well, we’re winning most of our matches and we’re confident,” he told Mundo Deportivo.
