Barcelona lost 3-2 against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday (April 21). At the end of the match, the Catalan club claimed that several decisions went against them.

However, there is no doubt about De Ingo’s participation in the Euros for the Netherlands next June, the media said.
Meanwhile, several media claim that De Young probably played the last match for Barcelona in El Clasico yesterday. De Jong may want to forget his final season at the club. An ankle injury at the start of the season in September sidelined him for nearly two months. After that, the season has to end without a title.
Bayern Munich is rumored to be De Jong’s new destination. According to transfer market expert Matteo Moretto, Bayern Munich have accepted a $75 million offer for De Jong. A few days before that, he said that the Bavarian club is investigating the Catalan club regarding De Jong.
