Barcelona's Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong said that "it is normal" to suffer against Real Madrid despite winning the Copa del Rey final 3-2, which, in his opinion, they deserved ‘in extra time’.
"In the second half we were dominating, but in the second half we got a bit complicated against top level players. It's normal that if you play against Real Madrid you suffer at times during the game. We conceded too much, but we equalised at the end and deserved to win in extra time," he commented on “Movistar+”.
"When you win it's all very nice. With the atmosphere in the stadium. We celebrated well with the people and with the family and the team. Now the focus is on Inter," he said of the cup celebrations.
He also joked about the two sunglasses that team-mate Lamine Yamal wore on the La Cartuja pitch during the celebrations. "Everyone has to do what they want to do. It wasn't sunny and it didn't make sense to wear sunglasses, but that's his style," he said.
Finally, he responded to whether the title achieved this Saturday in the “Clasico” against Real Madrid gives them the strength to fight for the treble - winning, in addition, La Liga and Champions League.
"We face what's left with the same ambition we've been playing with all season. We're going to give everything to achieve it and we'll see where it ends up," he concluded.
